Which neuspeed springs do you have? The sports would be okay on stock struts, the race springs will certainly blow your stockers eventually.

Eventually you will need performance shocks for either sooner for the race ones.

really don't know what your budget is, but if you can save for some koni (yellow's) you will not be dissappointed.

From my personal experience as someone who currently owns a set of Koni Yellows and KYB GR-2 non-adjustables, owned a set of KYB AGX adjustables, and has installed all sorts of different shocks from Tokico Illuminas, Bilstien, ****-*** Monroes, etc. etc. I say go with KYB AGX if you're on a budget - Koni Yellows if you have a touch more cash.

I know some people may swear by Tokico, but IMO I've never been too impressed with them. The blues (non adjustable) are crazy soft and even when paired with mild lowering springs felt a touch bouncy. For non-adjustables I much prefer KYB GR-2s. I have been running GR-2s on my daily driver with Tein S Techs for years now with zero issues. Car rides great, and firms up in the turns.

If the Neuspeeds in qiestion are the yellow race springs then you want stiffer, adjustable struts such as the KYB AGX or Koni Yellows.

Bilsteins are bad-*** too (I owned a set of the Neuspeed "race" full coil-overs with the Bilstein cartidges) but pretty pricey.
