and with "budget" suspension in mine...youre going to again.

Deal with the shitty ones for awhile longer until you can afford a good spring.

I recommend H&R sports (1.75" drop), but if you wanna go lower go w/ the H&R race springs

But get new shocks soon too, the stockers wont last long on a drop...maybe a yr tops

Would H&R race springs and KYB GR-2 shocks be a good inexpensive setup for just basic lowering (no autoxing or anything)? Approximately how much would this run?

Yup.

Depends on where u buy. I got my springs (neuspeed sports) and KYB Gr-2's for a total of $280 130 for springs and 150 for struts. New in box from someone who bought them and didn't use them.
