Congrats of your car. Don't want to make this a suspension discussion, but a nice option for future is to upgrade to the Sachs performance coilovers. The tS car has the Sachs dampers and if factory could offer a more expensive option, this would be probably their decision. It was basically a Japan development project, Mr. Tada was aware of it and in the early days even Mr. Showa wanted to try them. They took an "almost OK - GOOD" evaluation from him and followed suggestions.

Here is a side by side picture of the coilovers and an early prototype of the ordinary Sachs dampers:
