Upgrading my suspension.

Hey guys, I'm brand new to this forum. I have a dark blue 08 toyota corolla with 47k miles on it. So far, I haven't really done any performance upgrades on it, but I recently purchased a cold air intake, and a short throw shifter. My next big project I wanted to work on was a 'new' suspension for it. I already bought dropzone springs a while ago after hearing that they were tested and proven to be almost identical to the eibach sportlines in rates. I was wondering what kind of struts I should be looking to get? I was gonna get the dropzone struts as well, but I heard enough bad things about those to keep away from them. I'm just looking for a good performance strut that wont blow out when I put this 2inch drop to them.

Koni yellow should be an excellent choice.

I'd get Bilstein HD's. Good struts for ride/handling compromise.

Considering that Sportlines use progressive spring rates like almost all other lowering springs out there, that isn't really that impressive.
