Default Tokico blue ride quality???

I daily drive my car to school. I want to lower it with h&r springs and tokico blue shocks. So I was wondering if any of you have the setup and could tell me how the ride quality is or tell me another set of springs that would better compliment the tokico blues for a better ride but yield the same drop.

Thanks

I have blues with GC coilovers on my EK. They ride nice. Personally I would like them to be a bit stiffer. I'm going to put sway bars on and see how that affects this.

Don't do it.
I have eibach pro-kit (1 inch drop) and tokico blues.
I'd spend it on koni adjustables.
Tokico blues are not worth it.

Does anyone have any recomendations for a non-adjustable shock that would work good with h&r springs for good ride quality? I wont be racing the car only daily driven so I want it lowered with a good ride, and not spend to much on adjustable shocks that I wont use.

thanks

we put tokico blues in my brother's ek with neuspeed sports springs, with a 1.75" drops. the ride is awsome. handles great. you will not regret it; unless you're droping the car < 2"...get koni yellow, if that's the case.
