Default Budget suspension setup for 4door CB7

whats a good lowering springs and lowering struts combo thats cheap? it doesnt have to handle the best or give the best ride. as long as its ok i wont mind. i just want something cheap. im looking to spend like $600-$800 if i can get something for around that price. im looking to save especially since i know im going to have to buy axles soon if i lower it since theyre clicking on turns already. i know that lowering it will finish them off lol

Here's a Tokico setup for around $450 (not including shipping). Then the rest of your budget could be for install (if you don't do it yourself) and alignment.
