I too asked that same question before deciding on Tokico. Am very happy with the result. Great handling and feel while still a pretty smooth ride.

The KYB and Tokico are ment for two different applications.

Tokicos are sporty yet soft shocks. Infact they come with a stock 97+ Supra TT. They should be just slightly harder than the stock Lexus suspension.

KYB AGX shocks are pretty hard, yet not to the point where you will break your butt. You will definitely feel every bump but the handling will be superb.

You just need to find the balance between shandling and comfort that you will like. The answers (from people who own either or owned both) to your questions will be mostly be based on opinions.

You can use KYB AGX for Supra TT if you also get Eibach Pro kit for Supra TT.

Hey Spruce,
Can you post more pics of your suspension setup? I want to see how low your car is with the Supra springs and shocks. Thanks.

Go to my Lexus picture gallery from http://www.onmonitor.net/directql/gallery/. All the pictures there are with KYB and Eibachs installed.
