Blues are OEM replacements. It would work, but not very well or very long without blowing, from what I've heard.
If you're going Tokico, go Illuminas. Otherwise, I really like the Koni Reds if you're on a budget. The KYB AGXs are fairly well thought of too.
If you're interested in just a static 2" drop, there's absolutely no reason to spend the extra money on coilovers. And there's nothing wrong with a static drop on quality components. Not that I'm dissing on one piece coilovers, but they're overkill for most people, and personally I'd rather have good components and a static drop than cheap components and an adjustable drop.
You can't go wrong with Koni+Eibach, and you can do a 2.5" drop on those for around $500, alignment included. In that case, shocks and springs are all lifetime warrantied. If one of my Konis blows, I send it to Koni, and they send me a new one, for life. I could be wrong, but I don't think F&F, Omni, Ksport, or the other sub $1000 coilover kits offer that yet.

Yeah Tokicos are fine. My Illuminas handle great!
I wish I had gotten coilovers so I could change my height given the season, but I'm very happy with the ride my Illuminas and H-techs give.
I wouldn't go with blues either, but if you got em, throw them on and save up for better struts!

Re: I was wondering
yes and no, they are oem replacements, so no they will blow as they arent made for a lowerd car.
but if its all you have then yes, but just save up and try to get some new shocks.
