Default What shocks to get to go with Tanabe springs??

Well the Tanabe springs I ordered should be here from Steve in the next month or so. It drops the GS 4 "1.75-2. What shocks shoud I get? It seems the Bilstein and H&R shocks are built for a a "1 to a "1.25 inch drop. Or will they work fine. I sure as heck ain't using the stock shocks.

L-tuned(KYB) or Bilsteins, either one will work

I wouldn't recommend the L-tuned...I heard from another member...ScorpionGS I think...that the L-tuned springs didn't have enough travel for that low of a drop. He replaced them with Bilstein and didn't have any issues.
