You'll blow the HPs in very short order. Illuminas are your best bet but even they won't stand up to that extreme of a drop indefinitely. If you want a severe drop without the issue of blowing struts, I'd suggest you sell the s-techs and get coilovers.

GR2s are inferior to Illuminas in terms of ride quality and longevity. You'll blow them too very quickly with s-techs. Save up more money and buy the Illuminas. When you mod your car, don't be cheap because you'll regret it everytime you drive it.

i've had S.tech's and GR-2's for a year no and have experienced no decline in ride quality

wouldn't waste the money on the tokico blues, but try the GR-2's and see how you like them
