I'm guessing stock struts since aftermarket ones are stiffer for better handling

You can keep the stock springs. You can probably replace the struts/shocks with Tokico HPs (Blues) since you're keeping your stock springs

Is Tokico a good company? Do you know how much the ride will improve over stock?

Buying new OEM struts isn't worth wasting that much money on since Tokico Blues are much cheaper. You can probably even get the Monroe Sensa-Trac struts (from auto stores like Pep Boys).

Tokico Blues are great for stock springs and they are just like OEM struts. If you want a little bit better control, get the KYB GR-2s since they are a little stiffer than stock. GR-2s are cheaper than Tokico Blues, but the Monroe struts might be the cheapest (some stores are running the Buy 3 Get 1 free promo).

When you reply to a post here, it has to be atleast 10 characters long so people put 1234567890 to reach the limit Try to reply with "umm" and you'll see what I mean
