what do you guys think of it?

Performance, handling and reliability differences between the 2?

KYB > Tokico

I don't think I've ever seen a Tokico strut/shock out perform a KYB in the same application.

Well, with tokino you get 8 degrees of adjustability, but for about 40% more on the price of the AGX. I do not know if they make front struts for out car (or the 3g eclipse) but I do know they make the rears.

If your gonna spend that cash, get some TEIN dampers and try to get the EDFC to fit....

Koni are an option if you want to use the inserts for the front, but again, they are expensive.

I love my AGXs and will definately support KYB. (Plus the US Plant is located near me in Lombard, IL)

i've read on the the rre website and various 3g eclipse website and many reviews say that the tokikos don't get as stiff as the agx. but yea more expensive.
