i have illuminas in my 89 integra, they arent bad shocks either.

at the softest settings they provided a ride better than the factory shocks, and when firmed up they firm up the car nicely.

regardless, i would say go for the KYBs.

btw... with the illuminas at full soft up front, and full stiff rear in my 89 integra, my car has been described as "very tail-happy"
