Koni Yellows are amazing.

From Experience Konis are too stiff. Konis dont move.

I have a 2001 gsr with rear ITR LCAs with 4 Bilstein Sport Struts with H&R springs. All I can say is wow. Going over railroad tracks and what not is still really not pleasant but better than the Konis. And if your wondering what HD's are, there for normal driving and Sports are for lowered cars because there valves handle much better than the HDs.

A) What springs are you using, and

B) I would recommend the Tokico Illuminas over the blues.

Wouldn't the stock ITR Springs/struts be better than a Tokico Blue and spring set-up?

pretty much... the blues are basically a poor excuse for a OE replacement part.
