I'm looking at either the mach 1 (tokico non-adjustables) with a 1.25'' drop or the tokico 5-way illuminas on ebay for about twice as much (but dont want to spend the extra money if the mach shocks are a good balance). I'm not sure what springs to match them with though. Any suggestions for best ride quality / performance balance? I'm not into the rough harsh ride just for max performance but i would like better performance than stock and a nice sexy ride height .

I really dont know much about the spring ratings and what would match best with the mach 1 shocks struts but i do know i want more than a .75'' drop that the mach 1 has (i think its .75'').
