depends on what you're looking for. Is this for extreme auto-xing? based on affordability? coilovers an option? adjustable vs. non? more details please!

I have tokiko blues with prokit.  My car feels more solid, and it's actually smoother feeling then my stock setup...mostly because my two front struts where partially blown though.  Anyways, if you want a performance/daily driver I would definately go with these.  If you want something more hardcore then go with prokits and some other more stuff struts like the koni's or something...or coilovers.  I'm happy with the reduction of wheelgap too.

this is for adjustable that will see small amounts of autocross

I think the best shocks would be revalved konis. The only problem is the rear ones aren't adjustable once they're on the car.

I think for this reason I am going to go with Koni's in front and AGX in the rear.

if you have an S13, go with KYB AGX's and prokits. I haven't heard anyone complain about it and this is a setup for mostly daily driving w/ some track. If you have an S14, the most affordable adjustables are koni's, but supposedly KYB's going to come out with AGX for them sometime this summer.

What year is your car?  How much did the pro-kit lower your car?

i have pro-kits and AGXs on my S13 and i have nothing bad really to say about them.  on the softer settings they feel better than my stock (worn out) shocks and springs did.  on the stiffer settings they are very stiff and theres almost no body roll on the highway.  no complaints ehre... clcik my sig for pictures, they're bad quality though but u get an idae of how low it is
