Default 2 inch drop on springs and stock shocks

I have searched and never got a real clear answer. If I just do a 2 inch drop all around just srpings on stock shocks will I need to get new shocks? if so I got some in mind. also do i need to purchase all 4 shocks or just 2...every place i se sells them for about 80 each and im trying to stay within my 300 budget.

I jusy want something for a DD and still have some good performance aspects.
Thanks

you should do all 4 shocks or your stock ones mit blow out. you sure you want to do a 2 inch drop i just did a 1.8 in the front and 1.5 in the back. and my car hit's the ground

Ground Control makes coilovers and they use Eibach springs on them. their also quite a bit more expensive then ur run of the mill springs. dropzone's are junk, for an extra ~$100 u can get Tein S-Techs brand new. probably the cheapest decent shocks u'll find would be the Tokico blues or the KYB GR2's. parts are more expensive for ur generation so u may want to up ur budget a bit.
