The lowest springs are going to be S-Techs or H&R Race springs but those will only drop you around 1 1/2 inches

Both Tein S-Techs and H&R Race will give you a drop with little to no wheel gap. You might look into coils since you want a big drop on the front and minimal drop in the rear. You won't NEED camber kit with these springs, but it's probably a good idea to get it. My rear dropped approx 0.75" with the H-Techs and I'm at -1.7 camber. I didn't buy a camber kit, but I haven't noticed any tire wear after 6k miles.

You should have the alignment done if you drop it.
