Tokico vs KYB and Koni?

hey all!

I'm sick of running my ORGINIAL shocks from 94

(all blown) and struts, and was looking around at some aftermarket replacements. Although I want my car to be more of a corner carver than a straight line beast, I really don't need to be up to SCCA specs or anything....if I want to see some nice twisties I'll take the Ninja!

What I need to know is the ride/performance difference between non-adjustable, 5 ways, and 12 ways. Do I need em?? And considering the sizeable price difference between the adjustable KYBs and Tokicos, is the performance worth the higher price for the Tokicos?

I'd like to hear your experiences, because this is the first time I've ever replaced them, and truthfully have no idea what I am doing. I have such bad wheel hop after running my Eibachs with the stock, aged shocks and struts and the 315s with no quad shocks, I'm hoping replacements will cure most of it until I get her some LCAs.

Thanks for your help! Belle
