bilstiens could handle a 2" drop.
Are you running Nuespeeds?
If so, they are very stiff--experience has shown Koni's to be your best bet.
Koni now has a special economy shock for some applications--any for gen5 Accord?

you can get kyb agx's for 340 shipped. they are very good shocks and handle drops well, even though they void the warranty for drops under 1.5 inches. i've been running them with a 2.2/2 inch drop for a long time with no problems and have not heard of anyone blowing kyb's.

gr2's are the nonadjustable shocks from kyb, they are inferior to the agx's and shouldn't even cost 300. look on groupbuycenter.com, *** imports usually holds a group buy on the kyb agx for 340 shipped, thats where i got mine.
