With most aftermarket springs whether it be a 1" drop of 2.5" drop you should get yourself a nice set of shocks. Cause the stock shocks will not be able to handle the higher spring rates of aftermarket springs and will blow or leak after a couple of months. Might as well do it all together instead of putting the springs on now then having to take it apart again to installl new shocks.

Some people recommend the AGX; I had the Tokico Illuminas, and now I have Koni Yellows.

Re: thanks for

If you buy adjustable coilovers, spend the cash for something good like H&R or Tein. Illumina's or Koni's would be better with the 2" drop, AGX does not recommend anything more than 1.5" drop. If your gonna go the low budget coilover sleeve way, at least get some Ground Controls. I personally am not a fan of sleeves.
