Suspension setup for an AE101

Did a search on Tokico shocks but didn't come up with an answer. Can they handle a 2" drop? Or am I lookin' at a set of coilovers to go that low without destroying the shocks? The springs are Sprint Springs, any opinions on these? They have a 2" drop all around or they also offer a 1.8" drop in the front and a 1.7" drop in the rear. The other springs I've considered are Eibach Sportlines which are offered in a 1.5" drop all around. In one of the threads about the Tokicos, someone mentioned B+G springs, any opinions on these? Looking for a little help before I drop the 500 bucks on a setup.

Tokico's can handle the drop... however, if ur car is like my car... u need to drop the front a LOT more than the rear for the car to look even.

My eibach pro-kit droped it 1 inch all around. My rear have maybe 1/2 an inch of space left, my fronts have about 1.5 inches. so either go with coilovers... or if u get sportlines, make sure ur wheels don't rub

Mini, your car is nice. I see what you mean with the front being a little higher than the rear. DX-R, where did you get your S-Techs? That is definetly another worthy option. Thanks for the help so far.
