I can't comment on the Tokico's, since I've never used them. I have KYB gas adjust shocks in my car and the ride is firm, but very controlled. The first step to a better handling brick would be to change the bushings to polys. If your original ones are worn out, this will make a noticeable difference. Second would be the struts, and if you are planning to lower the car, now would be the time to do that. The next step would be the IPD sway bars, the handling difference is night and day. Bigger tires and wheels would be next. I don't know what your budget is like, but an upgrade to 15's and Virgos would be good and pretty cheap, just make sure you get a set that isn't bent up, they bend very easily. Personally, I've been drooling over IPD's offering of a great set of 17 inch alloys. If you go for the Tokiko's, let us know your results.
