    Tein s tech and kyb or tokico shocks?????

    Alright i have had coilovers on my car with stock shocks for long enough, ride has been harsh and extremely bouncy, i just purchased a pair of Tein type stechs and im looking to buy new shocks as well. i know a few people have said the stech give a rough ride but about 20 times that number of people have told me great things about them(stechs), plus, they cant be worse that the coliovers i have now. Now my question is if do go with the tokicos, that means that my ride will be pretty stiff but my handlingand connering will be much better and the bouncyness will be at a minimum right? but On the other hand if i get the KYB, then they have a softer ride and are more close to OEM but are prone to bouncyness and tend not to last as long . (Plus the warrenty says that you can only drop 1.5 and voids if droped lower) i been searching around the forum and found a few reviews but, if any of you guys have the stechs and have bought either of these two shocks setups please tell me what you think of them. im looking to ordering them this week.

    I have ground control coilover with the tokico struts and the ride is stiff but comfortable at the same time.I think s tech and the tokico or kyb is a good combination,the ride should be nice...
