Default will this combo work?

i've got a question...i want to lower my car maybe 1.5-2" and was wondering if this would be an ok combination and how it would ride. i have a 94 ex coupe by the way. heres what i was thinking:

(shortly used) ground control coilovers: $200

AGX Adjustable Gas Shocks: $340
(i found the shocks here: http://www.groupbuycenter.com/buy.asp?row_id=6483 )

is their anything else i would need to lower it and have a ride similar to stock? i'm not looking to spend an arm and a leg, just enough to get what i want done. what do u guys think? thanks

they would work.. thats the setup i have right now

the thing w/agx's is that they have a lifetime limited warranty.. anything over a 2" drop would void the warranty

Yeah if you are going to be dropping about 2" get a camber kit for the front and do the washer trick in the back to save some money. :thumbup:

With a 1.5" drop it would be nice to have a camber kit, but not totally neccessary. Of course, your individual results may vary

yea i say get te camber kit also

its worth it in the long run
tires, and driveablity
cause when i had my neuspeed springs and my kyb in my civic with stocks and no camber kit
the car pulled in every direction plus the steering wheel was upset down when i drove straight

but i switched to h&r springs with the 1.5 drop and got a camber kit and used my kyb agx's after i got my rims and then got a alignment made the biggest differnce
