i say stick with the koni. Easiest to rebuild and will last forever (as long as you rebuild them when they need to be) Also customizable to the damper and rebound settings you want. I dont believe any of the toxicos have that. ( and i am not talking about just turning the ****, i mean taking them out to rebuilt to have a specific rebound and/or damper setting

you should go with the AGX Gas shocks, alot of people recommend them and the're 4 way damper adjustable, that's all you really need, you need those other ones that have like 16 way adjustable or whatever unless you're looking into serious auto-xing but yea.

gr2 are more like premium stock shocks. AGX and the D spec are both good. It is all preference and how much you can pay.
