Default Suspension opinion. plzzz

Hey I have barely enough money for a set of blues let alone a set of Skunk2 sports shocks. I'm wondering if a set of Skunk2 Sport Shocks would be decent paired with the Dropzone sleeves I got. Its daily driven and it is currently at OEM height b/c of winter. In spring (April-ish) til about October I'm going to be slamming it pretty low. I'm just looking for a shock/strut to last a year or so with a few months of OEM height and then about 6 months of a dumped height. I'm just wondering whats better for my application (ride quality is no huge issue), the Tokico Blues, the KYB GR 2's, or the Skunk2 Sport Shocks?

Thanks much for any opinions or facts haha

Jason

Since you don't care too much about performance, you should get those monroes with lifetime warranty from your local parts store. Slam, blow, return, then repeat.

No Progress if you're going to slam the car. Not recommended.

I had a set of tokico illuminas (whites) and they were in my price range and handled well being slammed

Nice! Well I don't have much of a choice right now except to buy just shocks b/c I need something asap since the strut rod is exposed past the "mounting plate" if that makes sense. I can post a pic tomorrow some time, but basically I'm in dire need for shocks and I'm just looking for ones that will last me some length of time, I'm breaking my do it once, do it right rule though
