you could get away with shocks and spring, but you will need a camber kit. so figure 200ish for the springs, 300-500 for shocks, and about 200 for a kit. Plus labor, unless you are doing it your self.

A G should do it, depending on what kind of coilovers your going to purchase? The best coilovers are the one's for like 1200 bucks, but if you are looking to spend a G for everything, I would go with ground control coil overs. The ground control coilovers come with Eibach springs and they are pretty good. You just have to watch how low you make it, cause your car will be bouncy and you will feel every little bump in the road, like your Hydrolix (sp) constantly. IF i were you I would go with the Eibach Sport line. It comes with your OEM spirngs already cut for the set height. It's not 2" but it's close. I would get some KYB AGX shocks with that and then your camber kit. Now your rollin Hope this helps.

I have coilovers on my car and I would say go with springs and shocks, ciolovers will get you low, but it rides like crap, I dont like the way it rides but I love how low it is right now and I dont think I can get that low with springs and shocks, but 2" should be easy to do with springs and shocks

i have H&R race springs with stock shocks on right now and so far i havent seen any negative camber and the ride is same as stock. It's about a 2.25" drop and doesnt look bad at all, it looks real nice. the front is lower then the back and the back doesn't have "sag" effect like the eibach's seem to. Eventually you'll need shocks though and an allignment. you might be able to get away without a camber kit, but i dont know because mine haven't fully settled.

I have the neuspeed sport springs ( 2" drop) with the stock shocks and it looks and rides just as good as stock. Go to aieonline.com, they have the springs for $129. You will need a camber kit though (atleast I did). Good Luck

If you really want the lowered feel/look to your car then I would recommend the Eibach Sportlines with either KYB AGX's or Koni Yellows...Koni Yellows are supposed to be the best shocks...and of course if you get the sportline you will need a camber kit...once i get the money thats basically what I plan on getting for my car..
