I know this may be an obvious suggestion but I will post it anyway.
If you are already studying Karate, then you must already know a variety of kicks. If wish to get better at kicking just practice your kicks more. The reason TKD is known for kicking is because they practice kicking more than anything else.
In my opinion there would be no real need to take TKD...just practice on your kicking more.
My opinions of course...

This is a good suggestion. Give it a go, perhaps.

that will definately help with your kicking, almost any korean art can do that for you. but if you dont want the troubles of starting another art, train on your own. start stretching more, kick with weighted vests and ankle weights, train for quickness and technique. but yes doing that will help your kicks.
good luck, you will be fine with whatever you chose.
in tang soo,
