Default Tokico HTS aka D-spec shocks vs sport shocks

Has anyone tried the Tokico HTS aka D-spec shocks?
And how do they compare vs OTS Koni yellows, Bilstein sports, or any other sport shocks?

My 01 ITR has 232K km's on the stock shocks and they need to be replaced. My car is my cheap budget D/S autoXer so I don't want to spend too much $$$ on her.
Car has a salvage title and super high miles on her hence why it was planned to be my budget racer.

AST/Moton wants $5500 for the clubsports and PSI quoted me $4500 to build a set of DA Penske 8300's and keep me in stock class.

Strange, these shocks have been out for a while but I can't seem to find too much info on them for the ITR application.

OTS Koni yellows are pretty much perfect for a DS car.

With the ASR rear bar, there is a lot of weight transfer onto the outside front tire.
With the OTS yellows be stiff enough that they won't bottom out?

If you're running in DS on stock springs bottoming out shouldn't be much of an issue. Get the OTS yellows or the race valved konis.
