Difference from stock struts to tokico's with eibach's

I have Eibach's with stock struts and im moving to Illuminas (or HP not sure yet) The thing i want to know is what kind of difference i will get from upgrading my stock struts? Will it be more comfortable on bumpy roads? Because now its really not! The car rebounds too much. I hope thats just because my struts are 67k old and with tokico's it will be all comfy again...

It will help the ride quality but if that's all you want then don't spend the $$$ to get Illuminas. If you want adjustable bound/rebound then get the Illuminas. The Illuminas are what I consider soft on 1 or 2 beyond that and it starts to stiffen up. I have mine set 3F/4R and it gets a little jarring sometimes.

then tokico blues should be what i need (roads are very uneven and bumpy here)... how stiff are they? are they more like illumina's setting 1/2 or more 3/4/5 ? i heard/read that they carry a lifetime warranty even if i have Eibachs, is it true?
