I would recommend the Tokico HP (blues) for struts.
I used them before on a CL-S and thought they were pretty good. I have the adjustable Koni's now but I've never once adjusted them. They're set to the middle firmness since they were installed and the car rides a lot like it did with the Tokico HP (blues). And the Tokico's are less than $100 each

i think you're confusing Dirty-Type-S with TCM 01-CLS. Dirty has coilovers, I think the $250 price quote was merely a reference. TCM bought H&R's & Tokico's HP Blue's...
The reasons for switching your struts at the same time as the springs are:
1) Your OEM struts are going to wear out faster on lower than stock ride height.
2) It costs no additional labor (or takes no more of your time if you're DIY) to install new struts with new springs
3) Aftermarket struts usually provide superior performance to OEM struts at a low cost.

Those rotors look pretty good. I keep kickin myself for not getting ones without coated centers. After a few rains mine are covered in rust. Same pads up front though.
I might be selling my 2 piston legend calipers in a few weeks...
