Default looking for shocks&struts

i've had the stock suspension in for 10 years now and i think its about time to get them replaced. i dont know much about shocks and struts so i was wondering if u guys could steer me into the right direction. i want to lower it but i dont want to go over 2". i want something good but also wont cost very much. any name and brands or w/e will be very helpful.

thanks!

Tein Stech's. 1.3"F 1.4"R drop. Spring will run you anywhere from 150-200ish prolly could find them cheaper on ebay. Tokico, Koni, KYB(or G?) are good companies for shocks/struts, those will run you around 500. Then you should get a camber kit.

Go with H&R Sport/Race springs (about $150 shipped on eBay). They run around 1.75" drop, and the springs rates are a lot better than S-techs. S-techs are pretty soft and are mostly for looks. As for dampers, I would go with Tokico HPs. They won't run you more than $300 if you buy them on eBay. If you let me know what gen/trim you have, I'll even find you some.

EDIT: OK, assuming you've got a 5G or 6GEX, here we go:

5G Springs $165 shipped. 1.75" Front/1.5" Rear
6G Springs $160 shipped, same drop

Dampers $275 shipped

Total Cost: $440 max
