Friend of mine had the Tokico's in his MR2 for 2 months and they crapped out. They send him a new set for free, which he just put on eBay and went to Koni's. No problems with those. It's very possible he just got a lemon set, but he didn't wanna mess with it anymore.

Ive been pretty pleased with my Yellows. Havent had a chance to really toss the car around with different settings, but theyre quality. And yellow! If youve REALLY got some moolah to drop, get a set of Bilstein's.
