Default Looking for a little insight/opinion on lowering..

I am just looking to do this because this car is my Daily driver and I am sick of looking at how much wheel gap there is. I do realize the side effects of lower a vehicle improperly as i have been there before and have been through 3 different suspension setups on my other car. Currently it has the Tein Superstreet Coil overs with EDFC and is un believable how it handles. I'm not looking to spend another $1,400 on one of those, however in the past i did have a set of Eibach Prokit springs on it and it rode very well ( it just wasn't low enough for me @ -1.4" around).

I have been eying;

Springs
Tein S.Spec 1.3F and 2" rear.
Eibach Prokit 1.6F and 2" rear

Struts
Tokico HP series
KYB GR-2's.

I don't want to spend more than $400 on all of this because its a daily driver/ winter ratt for me and i am using almost hitting the 50K mark as an excuse to myself to need to replace the struts in it. Any of those combinations are within that range. But i am looking for a nice stiff/ hard ride close to what i had with my old Prokit and KYB AGX combo ( The struts were adjustable dampening and i had them 3/4 to hard) Can any Cruiser vets steer me in a good direction? Thanks in advance!
