Default spring and shock delima?!

Anybody have suggestions on lowering springs, Im torn between the tanabe's and the eibach's. The tires already rub in the front (top of fender) over big bumps and I rolled the rear fenders already so thats not an issue. I'm looking for a 1.5 inch drop if possible but still retain good daily drivability with minimal rubbing. Also what are some good upgraded shocks? Ive heard good things about the KYB's but unsure of specifics of type. Thanks guy's!

Definitely tokico hp's. Im trying to source out a pair of Espelir ASD's to go along with them which give a 2 inch drop

if you want KYB's, go with the TT Supra KYB AGX shocks..1-4 adjustable and excellent ride when paired with the TT Eibachs and about a 2'' drop, maybe just a bit more.

you can swing by and look at my setup to see what you think of it. i have swift springs and tokico illumina shocks from a supra mkiv and it sits pretty well. i am replacing them with stance coilovers when they arrive next week. car is in the shop right now getting a motor transplant. you are more than welcome to come look at it.
