Tokico Blues are great shocks for what you spend on them. Don't expect them to handle much of a drop and don't expect them to control a firm spring. They are GREAT for stock springs.

no strut out there can really handle a drop like that, most struts will have to be modded to work

You really should replace dampers in pairs, if not as a whole set. Not always the case with a newer car or when you've recently replaced the dampers, but I wouldn't be surprised if yours are original to your car.

If cost is an issue, put the car back up to stock height and get the cheapest dampers you can. You don't want to cut corners when safety is at stake.
