I wouldn't command coil overs unless you plan on corner balencing the car afterwards (more $$ and you gota find someone who does it) if not you might just make it handle worse. he also said the cheapest. normal springs are 1/2 the $$ of coil overs.

What about tokico HP struts? What springs would work well with them? I want like a 2" or more drop, will have to see when the rims are on the car. Do I want a progressive spring rate or linear and whats the difference? Thanks alot.

I wouldn't recommend dropping the car (actually rear end) that low.  Dropping the rear induces hideous amounts of negative camber in the rear, and a rear camber adjust bar can only take out about 2degrees of it.  This means it can take about 1.5" to 2" of drop in the back.  If you want it any lower, you'll end up with excessive negative camber which eats the inside tire edges and gives you poor traction during acceleration.  This is NOT a low-rider.  Don't do stupid things to the chassis which will just end up eating tires and stressing suspension components unnecessarily.  If you want super low drop, sell the FC and get a Honda...
