if ur gena stick with getting tokico shocks then i'd go with some coilovers. the tokicos tend to not settle on the passenger side for some odd reason. if u had coilovers u'd be able to adjust the height so it'll be even all around.
generally speaking, hondas tend to lean left anyway. its the way the engine and transmission are mounted. its off center. plus you have you in the left seat a lot more than you have a passenger. it will be like that with basicaly any spring.

thenagain, if hes just going for looks he could just be set with a set of cheap coils.

im on a budget but i also want to do the drop right,besides i heard that any after marker coils/springs will blow the stock shocks pretty quick.

if you get like a 1.5in drop or less it wont blow the shocks. anything lower than you will need shocks ment for lowering springs

What's the disadvantage to cheap parts?

Yeah, it was. There are all these myths going around that "coilovers" give you a crappy ride. When in reality, the problem is that people cheap out and buy no-name parts... that's the real root of the problem.

That was already clear from Roto's post.

Not upset, just didn't get the point.
