So I bought some springs off of a Bullitt, and while I'm changing out the springs I figure why not do the shocks and struts, right? I am looking around and I can get Tokico HP's for $300 through AM (because of gift cards), or I could spend some more and get the koni srt's for $370 through sam strano. I'd prefer to use my gift cards and get the cheaper ones, but I don't want them to be crap dampers. My car won't be much lower than stock, half an inch at the very most, so I don't need an awesome damper. Sam can you chime in? Thanks.

70 dollars more for a lifetime warrenty? that sums that up for me.

Better crap dampers than damp crappers.
That said, go with the STR.Ts.

Get the Konis.

Tokico HP's (aka "blues") aren't really a performance shock. Figure them to be two steps down from the D-spec adjustables in Tokico's line-up. Call it OE replacement or maybe a little better in some cars.

First off, don't bother with the Bullitt springs; they're the same as what you have now as far as rate, and will probably only lower the car around 1/4"... My '08 Bullitt was the same height as the stock GTs on the dealer's lot when I bought it, and I chose to go with some Vogtland lowering springs.
Check out something like the Steeda Sport springs for around a 1" drop. As for the dampers, the Koni orange or Bilstein would be good for the stock or slightly uprated spring rates. Koni yellows are also very good, but more $, and probably not needed for stock springs.

Ok, it looks like I'll be getting the Koni's come spring when I install the springs. Thanks for the advice everybody.
