Coilover or no to Coilover

Well I'm debating what to do for 87 IROC with a Turboed 370 LSX/ T56. Its mostly a street car with some drag strip use. I run 18x9s in the fron. I've seen Spohn and BMR make coil over kits. Would these be ideal? i want to drop the car about 2" all the way around. Any advice would be great.

You will lose strut to tire clearance. With your wide front wheels, there may be a clearance issue.

Ground control sells a drop in kit for our cars. or, you can go with something like this.
The latter setup will require a little work to install.
