Tokico or Koni......get adjustables. I have Koni shocks on Ground Control coilovers, and the car rides almost stock.....I have the fronts set at about 1/2 turn, and the rears set 3/4, so they're supposed to be very stiff, but it still feels good.

I have tokico blue shocks with eibach sportline springs on my teg...not much of a drop..just 1.8 inches but it doesnt bounce around and stuff...I like them a lot...:crazy:

I'd say Koni yellows for your stiff coilovers.

well i got my coilovers pretty far out, tires clear the fenders on the front barely, and on the rear they are all the way out and go over the top of the tires

Your stock struts are good as dead with a drop like that. You'll need to upgrade soon IMHO.
