Default Which Struts are the best?

Hey, I just recently dropped my '03 Touring model on the Eibach Pro Kit. While the ride isn't horrible, I would like to get it a little stiffer. I was wondering what applications are some people using? I have been looking at the Tokico D-Spec Black 16-way adjustables or the Koni Yellows. Now before everyone tells me to go with the Koni's, what distinguishes the Koni's from the Tokico's? The Koni's are going for around $800/set and the Tokico's for about $500/set. Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks

I got tokico shocks and tein s.tech springs for $670 shipped. Feels a bit stiffer than stock. Very easy to adjust on the fronts, a bit tricky on the rears. Dont know much about koni, but the $300 difference.

If you want a stiffer ride, you need stiffer springs. Off the shelf dampers like Koni and Tokico will not stiffen the ride on your car. They my do a better job of contolling the rebound, but they will not make the car stiffer.
