What kind of shocks should i get

I just recently received my Eibach Sportline Springs and i was wondering what kind of shocks to get. I've heard something about koni yellows or Tokico. What would you guys recommend.

Don't get the tokico. a lot of people don't like them. But if you have the money go with koni yellows.

kyb agx's say they are rated for 1.5 drops or less and a couple of people have blown them with low drops like the sportlines also. plus anything lower than 1.5 voids the warranty on the kyb's

shocks are a waste of money. Don't get them unles you have plenty of money to spend. I don't have them and my car rides fine with a 2.25" drop. Wish i didn't go this low because of camber tho.

None of those shocks make the car lower except for koni yellows. They'll drop the car about another .2-.5 inches.
