What shocks/struts work best with a drop that low? (h&r supersports and sportlines)
i hear that the fox body shocks and struts help because they are shorter and are less compressed..
if i were to put adjustables, were would i need to be dialed in for a daily driver/bumpy roads?
and which would be the best bang for the buck, kyb..tokico.. etc.?

I run Tokico Illuminas with my H&R SuperSports and I find the ride to be pretty decent. You can set them wherever you like, I think mine are on 3 in the front and 2 in the back but I haven't checked them in a while.

do i really need this is it a must? or ur just suggesting it cuz ive seen where people cut springs and dont use these things at all or put springs in trucks and in fbodies
If you don't get caster camber plates, you won't be able to get your alignment done therefore causing uneven and premature tire wear.
The stock struts-shocks might not handle the car very well.
I used to run spotlines with no insoaltors with bilsteins struts and koni shocks and the ride was pretty bad still, I can't imagine using stock struts-shocks, its your call.
People often neglect and want to go the cheap way, guess what? There is no cheap way to do this.

so does it matter if the shocks/struts are adjustable, or just a decent shock/strut like the kyb?
are all tokicos good ?
ive purchased the caster/camber plates and the h&r springs supersports with stock ruber insoaltors but really wanna make a good choice on my shocks/struts without makeing my wallet to light.
still havent done the install waiting to have a complete package before i get it done..

adjustable shocks and struts are not necessary. unless your budget can handle it.
I picked up my Koni's off C/L for $200 for the set. But I was looking for an adjustable set for a long while.

Don't cheap out on your suspension. If looking cool is more important than the quality of your ride and your safety, then by all means...go cheap.
It's better to look for good deals and piece together your suspension over a few months time, than cheap out and ruin your car just to get the "look" of being lowered. Do it right, the first time.

how am i going screw up my car i dont get it people do it all the time
You want it cheap? Go to your auto parts sto and buy some Camber bolts for your car put them on there,leave your stock struts-shocks alone and get it aligned that's the cheap way
I had the camber bolts on my car for 2 years, they cost about $30.00.
I bought them as I didn't have $200+ to buy CC plates.

H&R Race Springs, Bilstein HD's and your choice of CC plates. You can move further after you get Those done.

i ran my car for a very long time with eibach pro-kit springs with stock caster camber plates and stock struts. my tires did not last very long.
then i bought eibach sportlines and MM caster camber plates but stayed with stock struts. this worked fine however the ride what kinda rough. i even had the stock struts with my coil overs at first and it worked fine, just a little rough.
so basically, caster camber plates are a must, but you can do struts and shocks as you go along if you can deal with the rough ride for a bit
