Default newbie here-some suspension advice

i'm deciding as far as what to do with suspension for my car. i would like to lower it about 2 inches, but don't really wanna spend $1300 on coilovers. i was looking into some springs, more specifically the tanabe df210's. my questions are: are these springs any good? what kind of struts should i get with these? do i even have to get new struts? thanks for all your help guys. I am riding on stock rims right now, but will be getting 19-20's within three weeks.

I am a newbie as well and have ordered Tein S-Techs with KYB GR2's and KYB strut mounts...I'll let you know results. According to Tein this should give me a 1.5 in drop in front and 1.1 in drop in the rear while running 19 x 8.5's with 235/35/19 in front and 19 x 10.5's with 265's in the back. Hopefully will eliminate my dune-buggy 4 x 4 look I've got going on. By the way...any reason why no one offers rear strut mounts other than factory?
