I went with a set of B&G lowering springs (i had the same brand on my old supra and liked the feel/look of them) They're supposed to have a 2" drop in the front, and a 1.6" drop in the rear.
as for struts a took your advice (thanks!) and ordered a set of kyb gr-2s struts
thanks for all your help man! with a little luck i'll get this weekend off and be able to lower it then, i cant wait lol
