I dont know much about chocks and springs, but I would say go with Tein Coilovers.

Then you would be able to drop it as much as you want.

I got the CST's, and the ride as smooth as stock on the softest setting.

Tein Comfort Sport coilovers.

you can drop as little or as much as you want.

well, maybe you'll have to go down more than one
inch, but not too much more.

but they're the best in terms of comfort.

or are you going to track the car?
if so, go with Tein Mono Flex.

IMO Neuspeed/Koni shocks w/Neuspeed Sport springs. I've tried Tokico Blues and hated them. I've also tried Tein H-Techs on factory struts and they rode great but just wasn't low enough.

Why not just get coilovers and call it day instead of trying to find a spring/shock combo?

if you want about an inch drop without losing ride quality, i would go with the a-spec suspension.

A-spec drops a bit more than 1" in front, and bit less than 1" in back.

Eibach or H&R springs and KONI Yellows if you want damping adjustment or TOKICO HP's if you don't want damping adjustment.
