    Xii Performance 1.7 drop coils and either 2 or 3 inch blocks with some bilstiens or drop shocks and low pro bumpstops be your best bet for quality and price

    Xii drop springs and some spacers for the spindles like these that'd get you at least 2 inches. 1 inch with just these spacers. Might be selling them soon. Unsure tho :)
