Anyone ever tried the Tokico HP Suspension kit for their car? I got a 95 impala and was wondering how the kit is. From past experience on some of my older honda's, tokico hp's aka blues aren't the best actually they suck balls. maybe its just the import thing and maybe since its a actual kit not just shocks i was wondering if it was worth trying. It was either this or a set of bilstein HD shocks with h&r sport springs. Any opinions? Here the description on the site:

The hp's aren't bad, they just aren't as good as the Bilsteins or especially these - Koni Shocks- Adjustable, price is for a set of 4 for $408.80. Add a set of Suspension Techniques lowering springs (2"drop) #60505 for $221 and you will have an excellent handling Impala SS.

I have KYB AGX adjustables .. when cranked up this car begs for more corners .. not to harsh on rough roads ... i paired them with 2" Intrax springs .. i couldnt be happier with the performance
