Okay, i am still confused on what i should get...

Robbclark recommends that i get tokico blues...

I have eibach sportlines which have lowered me about 1.5-1.6 all around....
I dont rally or autocross any... If anything i occasionally take a turn hard thats about it...

What do you recommend?

I have people now telling me tokico d-spec and all kinds of crap... Right now i am sticking with Robs opinion until someone can show me how something else would be better for me...

i wonder if i should get some adjustable ones that way they can handle the lowered car.... Because in the FAQ it says that HP's might not handle a lowered car...

tokico hp (blues) DO handle a lowered car. tokico recommends a 1.5-1.7" drop for best results. you pretty much want something that suits best for daily driving and i personally think the blues would do with the sportline drop. i would just ask others if the ride is stiff, firm, soft, med, etc if your worrying about that.

mogwai will become famous soon enough
I have the HP's with Sportlines on my car. As mentioned up top, the HP's can handle your drop. I've had this setup for about 5 months now and have yet to have any problems. The HP's ride is stiffer than stock, but not by much. The car handles really well; it's a difference of night and day compared to the stock struts, shocks, and springs. What ever you decide; good luck.

tokico blues should be sufficient with your springs and application

Tokicos are the easiest solution and will work fine with your Sportlines.

get the HPs. They ride nice, and are cheap. They are like the cheapest I believe. I have 2 kids 4yo 2yo, and I have to have a smooth ride for them. So when I lowered my car, I used the HPs. They work awesome. I have had them for about 5 months now. I would so recommend them. I have goldline springs which are close to a 2" drop. rear tires tuckin on 205-40-17. Fronts just about, but the struts hold up very well. I drive hard a LOT of the time too, and not a problem at all from them. As long as your drop is under 1.75" manufactors specs, you will have alifetime warranty. My springs are supposed to be 1.75", so I am safe with warranty on Tokicos!

My opinion, Koni is the best. They can be somewhat expensive but I think it worth it. Tokico HP is also a decent choice if you just want a firmer shocks to match your springs.
