Shocks: F-Sport vs. Tokico

These are the only two aftermarket shocks for our cars without going with coilovers. I know I'll probably be flamed for this, but for me personally, I'd rathe go with just springs and shocks, I don't need the adjustability. If I know I have the option I'll keep adjusting it everyday and I'll go crazy. ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
But yeah, I'm not sure if anyone has gone with Tokico's yet, but what has been your experience? Is the ~$100 you save from going with Tokico's over F-Sport worth it? I am planning on getting F-Sport shocks 3-4 years down the road or so.

Which do I want, Bilstein or Tokico? Hmmm. That would take me less than a second to decide. The extra $100 will be long forgotten while the F-Sport shocks will be working their magic for years to come.

Most are, but it's hard to say with these.

Sorry to bring this thread back again, but I think I'll need to replace my shocks by the end of the year. Between the two, Tokico HP and Bilstein (F-Sport), which will be a comfier ride? Honestly, as much as I do love the sportier handling, driving in LA, roads suckk. I think for the time being I'll like to find a shock that will handle the range of aftermarket springs, and still be a fairly smooth plush ride.

I just read over the 'lifespan of coilovers' thread and gotta say id rather have aftermarket shocks with aftermarket springs than coilovers. I really don't like the fact that you need to rebuld your coilovers after 25k miles, for the price of aftermarket shocks. I guess adjustability is key, but i'd rather get more life out of my suspension.
