Default Good Shock for Skunk2 Springs?

I don't need adjustment. The car is just my cruiser, I just wanted to know what shock is good to handle the drop. I'm interested in the new koni srts (the orange shocks) and tokico blues, will gr-2's handle it???

What is a good shock for skunk2 springs?

besides the obvious skunk2 sport shocks...

Good to hear the gr2's work well, those are the cheapest I could find. I'd rather not spend the extra money for the s2's/tokicos if gr2s work fine.

This car is an auto daily cruiser car. Just putting springs on for looks

as far as I've heard the s2s are good shocks, but they are kinda pricey, $410?? for $500 you can get illuminas.
