What tokico shocks? You don't want to blow new shocks by over-springing them.

Those look like the tokico factory equivalent replacements...i.e. don't put stiff (ebay coilovers ~450/350) springs on them.

what do you mean by over springing them??

As in, the shocks won't be able to control the spring. The energy absorbed by the shock through a cycle of bounce is small compared to the energy involved with moving the spring through a cycle of movement.

I've talked to a bunch of people who bought eBay coilovers and the ones with the best reputation are the "R1 Racing" ones, with blue springs. The spring rates do feel kind of like 450/350, and the biggest problem is they only exist for the NB, so the car still looks stock height when you adjust the mounts almost all the way down, unless you convert to NB top mounts too.
