Why are you looking at the tokico's? Going from Koni's to tokico's is a step backwards that you'll will regret. You had a great set up, get it again. www.shox.com is the best place I can think of to get that setup at. $339 for the GC's and $424 for the Koni's with free shipping. If ya have to I guess you could run tokicos in the rear, but if you can afford the koni's in the rear I'd do that.
Or kick it up another notch and get stiffer ground controls and have Koni revalve a set of struts (and shorten the front bodies if you plan on running below a 2.5").

Ya know if you were willing to slice off the brake line mounts on the front strut bodies you'd be able to let the struts go down into the pinch fork 1 extra inch,.....just like you had the strut bodies shortened a inch. Where the strut body naturally gets fatter will be the new stop for the pinch fork. What you will do with the brake line mounts is up to you. I'd think their would still be enough space below the spring mount's to reweld them on. Just a idea.
