There are several shocks that people regularly use that just aren't made for a big drop. Tokico blues are great dampeners, but have too high of an internal pressure to last a long time with a bigger drop. They will work fine, but there's no telling how long they will acutally last. That's why stock shocks often blow quickly, unless they are fairly new...they just weren't made to ahndle that much internal pressure. Koni yellows are great if you have the money, so are KYB AGX's. How much of a drop do these coilovers give you? I'd personally get rid of the OBX's and get GC coilovers and Koni Yellows if you could afford them. Another good combo are the KYB AGX's and Eiback Pro-kits or Sportlines. These combinations are widely used because they work.
