Default Spring and Strut setup

I'm planing on getting some springs and probably coilovers for my 93 si. I have some questions though.
How low will the stock struts get me, before the ride gets to rough?
I was thinking about getting Tokico shocks with some cheaper coilovers, and droping my prelude about 2 inches all around, after I get my new wheels.
Mainly I'd just like to know other peoples set ups, and cost, kuz i'm pretty short on cash.

Thanks.

The stock struts will prob last you a week or two at most, especially with a 2 inch drop. And from what i hear, tokico blue struts are junk. However, i did just order a set of the tokico blues with the tokico lowering springs for only 350$ shipped, so we'll see how that goes

You could always go get a set of factory replacements from AutoZone with a lifetime warranty. But thats if you don't mind changing them monthly. No matter what you do, factory shocks aren't going to hold up with that aggressive of a drop.

How much are the Tokico Blues and how do they compare to the Koni Yellows?
