    Default what shocks would you recommend?

    Well, my 91MR2T rear shocks are gone. so I'm thinking of replacing it with some kind of performance shocks.
    I would like to know which brand and model would you recommend. I'm looking for something that's not too expensive. The car will mostly be used as a daily driver and autocrossing.

    Thanks,
    Kev

    Go with Tokico ILLUMINA ADJUSTABLE SHOCKS, They are pretty good. PM me if you are interest.
    Bilstein is good too but they are expensive

    First decide exactly what you want to get out of them, then determine your budget, that will narrow things way down for you.

    No AGX for 91 MR2
    Koni Yelllow is good but pricey

    unless im missing something, they definetely are available for the 90-95 Toyota MR2

    did the 91 specifically use a sealed strut?

    the thing is, I had a Tokico adjustable shock leak on my 85 corolla. the tokico probably couldn't handle the it cause it was used for a rally car. that's why i'm asking which brand is good. I also heard good things about the KYB AGX adjustables. This car is my daily driver, and next year, i'm planning to go to most solo 2 events. that's why i'm looking at some good performance shocks.

    someone gave me a quote on the 4 AGX with installation. he said it would cost me $1200. That sounds rediculous to me, and that's why i'm asking for everyone's opinion.
