Icon7 Replacing shocks on EM1 HELP!

So a while back I got the bug to lower my 99 Si. Well its not my daily driver and it usually only sees daylight a couple times a year. So I purchased some Tein S Tech springs and threw them in with the factory shocks/struts..... I KNOW.... Terrible idea. So now im looking to upgrade the shocks/struts because I plan on driving it a little more than usual this summer. Not really looking to track the car, maybe an occasional auto-crossing, just really want to smooth the over all ride out. Any suggestions on shocks/struts to mate up to the Tein S Tech springs? I was looking at the blues but read somewhere that they are only good for a drop up to 1.5" and the Tein springs are on average a 1.8" drop. What im looking for is some sound advice and what you guys think would be the best bang for the buck. Thanks for any advice!

OH yea, and I really dont need the adjustable kind because I dont plan on getting that "hardcore" with it. Thanks again!
