Maybe it's not the tokicos making the ride harsh. It could be your intrax. Just a thought.

its probably your springs

try H&R, they have a decent ride. BUT any lowered car is going to ride worse than stock, it just something you have to get used too. i have my Koni's on full soft all around and it rides nice for a lowered car.

Tokicos are the 'softest' shock, they don't match well with Intraxs. The Konis are a better match.

so if i went with the koni's it would be better.. is it just that the intrax are cheaper and give a lot more.. would coilovers do the same or the sprint springs??

My experience tells that the softest setting on Koni is stiffer than Tokico shocks. I run H&R/Koni and my friend has H&R/Tokico and we both see a huge difference. Koni are stiffer.

Now I am confused!!!!!!

I am planning on going with the KYB/H&R set-up or the Konis. Will this yield the smoothest and best ride(closest to stock). Please advise!!!!!!
Thanks,
Jason

Go with anything except for Tokicos. These shocks are very soft and do not last long especially with such springs as Sprints and Intrax. I don't know anything about KYB. You might wanna wait for KYB AGXs, they will be adjustible just like Koni.
