Wondering if anyone has used these shocks and if they are any better than the tokico rear shocks.

I haven't heard of or seen those in action yet. Judging from the price and the fact that they are a budget replacement shock, I cannot see them offering vast improvements over the Tokicos.

I've heard no feedback regarding the Tokicos, with the KYB AGXs I haven't heard the best of things involving their "adjustability features."

I have Tokicos, they're OK for stock springs.

I have bilsteins up front, but haven't change rear yet. I wanted to put in some adjustable shocks in the back, but I'm not sure which ones yet. The single adjustable Konis are tempting, but at 150 a piece I don't know if I want to spend that much.

The best bang for the buck in stocks and struts are the Bilsteins. They are OEM on a lot of expensive vehicles for a good reason! If you want to take a step up from there, Koni's are the way to go. We offer the Bilsteins at a great price as well.

Are the bilsteins on your site the SLP version, or the standard HD? Do you have a part number for the set?

Thanks!

The QA1's are OK for a drag car.... not that good for all-around street handling.

If they were manufactured in the last year or so, the standard HD are the same as the SLP shocks (same settings in the rear at least).

A major step backwards in my opinion...
