Best Strut/Lowering Spring combo for daily driving
I'm looking to drop my car about 1-1.5 inches, i'm also in need on some new struts. What would be a good combo of springs and lowering springs?
I'm fairly interested in some Tokico Blues, but not sure on springs yet. Don't want it really bouncy...
Its a 94 integra just for Daily Driving.
Thanks.

The price on that combo looks good...but I'm far from an expert on how well it would work on a daily driver. Will be watching this thread.

If you're going to cheap out and run crappy Tokico HP shocks, then don't put anything more than Eibach Pro-Kit springs on them. You'd be safer running something with even less of a drop like H&R OE Sports. HP shocks will not be able to handle Sportline shocks. They will blow out after a relatively short amount of time.
Or you could get quality shocks like Koni Sports. Mine have over 170K miles on them and they're still working great.

The tokico blues come with a 1.4in drop tokico hp lowering springs, its a package they sell so i'm sure it will work. I'm not dropping below 1.5

Re: Best Strut/Lowering Spring combo for daily driving
There is also a person selling a brand new set of Ground Controls with tophats for a decent price in our area. If your budget isn't too low, I recommend getting those and then picking up a new set of Koni yellows from either our sponsors here on h-t or shops online/ebay. Koni's and GC's are perhaps one of the best for overall driving and definately very good for its price. Well worth it and you wouldn't ever have to change your shocks/spings/coilovers set anymore unless you do track/racing. I'm sure many will agree with me on this set up.

Don't forget to have an alignment done to reset the toe after installation.
