Replacing struts/shocks

Replacing the tires on my car in the next week or so, so I thought replacing the struts/shocks would be a good idea now. I have the sport suspension package and I'm running the stock 19's. I'm looking at either Koni Sports, or Tokico Blues at the time. Any suggestions from anyone that has made the change at the time around here? I have no major problems I just know that at 100K, if I continue to replace only the tires they won't last long at all. Thanks for your suggestions guys.

If you drop the car more than an inch then you will have trouble getting the alignment back into the specified range. Have you considered a height adjustable suspension? There happens to be one available at a good price

Looks like an excellent deal but, I'm not trying to do that much with my suspension. I jus want to do the shocks and struts, anyone else? BTW, thanks.

Tokico is getting harder to get a hold off since they stopped importing them. I would look into Koni since they will have lifetime warranty. I have 350z front springs and G35 rear spring that I threw on my sedan around 88k miles. I have 109k and rear shocks were worn out. I only did the rear shocks with KYB GR-2 Sport shocks. They cost me $178 installed about the price of 3 gas tanks and it was well worth it. They come with limited lifetime warranty from O'Reilly since I needed something next day.

I bought some used Konis and it's worth it because you can do some dialing in of the suspension. Coupled with Z or Coupe springs (for my sedan), it was perfect for me. Very factory but much improved handling
