Rear Shock Choices...

I need a set of rear shocks for my '94 Z. I'm on a fair budget, so QA1's and Koni's are out of the question. I don't want stockers, but a step or two above that would be great.

What I have found are Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustables and KYB AGX's for the same price (~$200 for the set). If you know of a better option for around the same price, then what is it?

I like to drag race mainly, but my overall focus is a car that can do a little bit of everything well. I already have all rubber pieces changed over to poly, and Suspension Techniques springs.

Which one would you choose? From what I've seen, it looks like the KYB's are more user-friendly for adjustment, and I THINK the Tokico's have to be adjusted from the rod end(?). If that's the case, I think I'm getting the KYB's and forget the hassle of the Tokico's.
