Default Lowering Springs

Is anybody here running California Custom springs? If so what shock are you using with it? Incase nobody has these springs on their LS, what shock would you recomend for 1.5"-2.0" drop springs? Car's year in question is a 91.

Thanks in advance,
Nick

i'm afraid you only have 2 choices: KYB GR-2, or Tokico Blues..

Do not use OEM Shocks with lowering springs

As far as i know the KYB are the softer of the two and the lifespan isnt as high as the Tokico either, is this info correct?

KYB is softer than Tokico.. but I love it.. I think my ride is firm enough. But soft when driving normally. As far as life span goes.. I did my research b4 buying these shocks and I didn't here about that. I've had mine installed with the Eibach lowering springs and they been great for almost 2 years
