A 1" drop coil changes the compression distance ~1-2". You should be fine w/stock length shocks. Would it bottom out before? Tell us more about your set-up (wheel & tire size, etc...). Pics would help as well.

Re: CPP or KYB's monotube drop shocks?
Sounds more like the wrong spring (not enough spring-rate for the amount of drop) vs the shock. What age/condition are the current shocks?

Having used some of their products on my 55 Chevy sedan, I'm done with them. Know that "C" really stands for "Chinese". Maybe CPP = Chinese Product Proliferation.

I agree with the belltech drop shock. I changed my stock shocks to belltech and the tide is some much smother.
