Default Spring/Shock Combo

Looking for a combo set for my 95 civic that is reasonably priced.
Would like to lower maybe 1.5" to 2" max...

Have been looking at the tokico blues setup but have seen some bad reviews on them. Also will be running the factory steel 14" wheels till can afford to upgrade.

Read the stickies on suspension set ups. I had tien s-techs for a while they were fine. but i had them on koni sport struts. it was like 1.7-1.9 drop. HP struts are another thing to look into, But don't cheap out. R35p3kt on here got some pretty cheapo strut/coils and Messed up his suspension pretty bad, and i just read yet another thread about someone complaining about how their car sucks now that they cut their OEM springs.

In reality, a strut/spring combo is going to run you some money, like over 500 easy. and its alot beter to do it right the first time, and spend less money overall.

i may need to look at just shocks then cause my budget is 425.00 max.
was hoping to get a little drop but have some really worn shocks so need to replace asap.
