Default Tokico Illumina shocks

Hello. I am in the search for some new shocks, cause my Bilstein sprints are off. (Eu sprints are US sports). I have Eibach sportlines springs, 45mm front, 30mm rear. I want to get stiffer shocks than the Bilstein and i was thinkin of the Tokico Illuminas adjustable, and also Koni sports. Has anyone tried the Tokicos except Rob? How do they feel compared to the Bilsteins? Stiffer or not? And what about Koni sports? How do they feel compared to the Bilsteins? Bilsteins were too soft for me!

i remember reading of one person who had them and said they had blown a shock and that why wont last long, but i could be imagining things since i think i read this nearly 2 years ago

though i have had mine on for over two years and have autocrossed some and done some spirited driving, and they have held up perfectly for me...

i have no complaints...i love them...but i have nothing to compare them to other than stock
