New Suspension Setup help

All right guys heres where I'm at. Right now I'm dropped on neuspeed sports with the stock shocks. As of late I have noticed my ride getting worse, alot more bounce then ever. I don't know if this is due to blown shocks or the springs I have? I guess my two options are to work with the springs I have and get new shocks or just replace the whole setup. I have an o2 ex that is used mainly for everyday driving, I'm not looking for a track beast but I am looking into the future to get boost and have a setup that will handle it. I want a setup that gives me good handaling even if it sacrafices ride comfort and I don't want anymore drop then what the neuspeed sports give me. I have read the faq's and looked at different kits but what I would really like is feedback from you guys who have alot more experience then me with what would be a good setup for what I am looking for.. Please help....

they're inserts, you'll have to use stock struts with the konis.

the tokicos are replacements....and lemme say i just got the same setup and i like it a lot. i had the neuspeed sports with blown shocks, then i put in the tokicos and its a night and day difference!

Ok so the Tokicos are an after market strut and shock combo for our cars? But I remember reading somewhere that you have to fabricate something in the suspension to make them fit. Is there a true replacement strut/ shock setup that doesn't require any fabrication? The reason I'm asking is because I want the least hassle as possiable because I don't have the room to do the work myself so I don't want to bring it somewhere and have them tell me that they won't fit because they don't want to do any mods to make them fit. Good performance shops are hard to come by here in Myrtle Beach..
