Default Tokico Shocks and Struts

I just recently purchaced a 95 GT. The only thing that was done to it was some suspension work. Right now it has some Tokico shocks and struts on it (the black ones). It also has some Gripp caster and camber plates. I am not for sure if the springs are stock or not, I think they are because the car does not really looked lowered. My question is about the Tokico shocks, are they decent shocks and struts or would it be beneficial to replace them one day with something different. Any input would be helpful, thanks.

Tokico makes a good shock. I use adjustable ones (white).

if you want adjustable go koni or strange. they did a test on a whole bunch of different shocks. torture tests and what not. Bilstein and Koni came out on top, tokico was deemed garbage. ill try to find this test, if i do ill post a link with the results. but they are definantly a hugeimprovement from stock. and from what i understand, illuminas are the only worth while tokicos.
