Default Shocks/Struts Recommendation with a 2" Drop?

So... just ordered some eibach sportline lowering springs which is a 2" drop. I'm currently running the stock shocks/struts. I'm sure over time they will take a beating from a 2" drop. So just wondering on what a good shock / strut would be?

Any suggestions?

your stock ones will last for a good while if you install the springs correctly and not pop the shock when removing the stockones but trd and tokico are the ones to go for or else just save for coilovers because you might get bored of the 2" drop and maybe want to go lower or abit higher.

i've had the sportlines on for over a year now and have had no problems. I think they're the perfect drop in my opinion. i scrape my front end enough leaving driveways that's why i didnt get the s-techs

unless you're going to do some autocross stick with your stock struts until they go out.

then buy some koni yellows. forget that tokico and trd junk.

Where did you get your information that trd and tokico are junk?

Those are both reputable companies that provide quality products. I have heard nothing but great things about both trd and tokico.....

I would really like to see your infomation that proves trd/tokico are junk....
