you can either one buy the intrax drop springs which are 2" all around. Or you can go and buy the ground control coil overs which are a 3" drop total if you put it that low. They cost around 500 though

Think about what your doing first...
I just lowered mine with an Eibach prokit and am perfectly happy with it. That's with a 1 1/2'' all around. A lot of people with the 2'' will complain about bump steer. The front suspension geometry will be seriously messed up. Only way to do it up front would be to use drop spindles and then you usually have issues with the tie rods. Plus, I have to go EXTREMELY slow over the slightest speed bumps with the prokit. For a daily driver dropping a car more then 1 1/2'' is stupid, you'll scrape parking near curbs, coming out of driveways, speedbumps. Easiest thing to do is to get the prokit and I recommend getting KYB GR2s all around at the same time. Everyone will say when the springs are first installed that it won't look that different. Give it a little over 2 weeks and the thing will look great, it was the same thing for me. I'll have to post before and after pics soon.

I used eibach springs 1.6 around and it handles great and looks great. I also used lakewood shocks and 70/30 struts, and it rides good and the street and great at the track!
