Buy some KYB GR2s. They probably cost the same as stock ones and will fair better on a lowered car. I've had mine on my car with a 1.5 drop for a year and they have been great.

Are those shocks stiffer than stock? Comparable to Tokico blues maybe?

They are probably stiffer than stock. Not sure what else they would compare to.

I'd say the KYB-GR2 are about the same as the Tokico Blue's.
They are entry level performance shocks.

So whats the lowest price I can pay for some GR2's? and BTW, this is with a 2.5" drop with cheap stiff coilovers, so will it just help a little or should I feel a noticable difference?
