Default Which suspension set-up should I buy?

I'm debating on which suspension set I should buy for my car...

either Skunk2 coilovers..

or... Kyb agx shocks with Tein Stech springs combo..
http://www.prostreetonline.com...combo/

or... Tokico Illumina shocks with Tein Stech springs combo..

Which ones do you guys think will be best for my car. Its a 96 EX and my daily driver. I read a lot of good things about all these brands on this site. I dont want my car to be slammed, I'm just looking for a 1.6-2.0 inch drop and have a nice smooth ride. With that kind of drop, I wouldnt think I need a camber kit, but if you think otherwise please let me know. Thanks.

I dropped my 96 ex on sportlines ~1.5" drop and I needed a camber kit. And get the suspension set up that you want, not what we tell you to get.

I have Ground Control coilovers with Tokico Illumina shocks. I love my setup. My car is slammed, and the coilovers are all the way down. Surprisingly, my camber is still the way it's supposed to with the OEM camber kit.

Yea, I'm thinking of getting the Skunk2s since I can adjust the height with them. But I was just looking for some feedback on these products.

And there isn't any snow where I live (bay area, CA)
