Default looking to buy shocks

ok so i have the tein s-tech springs. i'm looking to get a little better handeling. would the koni blues be ok for me. how do they ride. and will they give me a pretty nice handeling upgrade? i know that the yellows are better but i'm looking to save money and just get a small upgrade. plus i dont want to wear out my stock ones with the springs i have. are there different shocks that i should look at. maybe same quality but less expensive. thanks for the help.

you mean Tokico Blues...

the Koni Red is the less expensive version of the Koni Yellow.

so im looking at the site you gave me. it is 110 for the adjustable tokicos (yellow)? and thats for the front pair and then another 110 for the rear pair. correct. alot of sites are confusing with how many come with one purchase. and if i want to replace all four do i just put in that i want a quantity of 2? the question im getting at is...are all the shocks the same. front and rear are the same? im thinking they are but advice on all this would be great. and the yellows would be the best rather than the $80 ones. sorry for all the confusion. thanks for the help.

the price is per shock. if you order 4 he will send you 2 fronts and 2 rears (they're different). They are basically listed from best to worst.

I wouldn't say the Tokico Blues are bad, but like it says, they aren't much of an upgrade over stock.
