There are plenty of springs that will drop it 1.5" plus or minus a few tenths. Tein S-Tech, Eibach Pro-kit, Neuspeed Sport, H&R Sport. Then there are coilovers which you can adjust to the height of your liking.

better stay between 1.25-1.75. any lower and you'll rub while hard cornering or even daily driving

Depends on what size rims and tires. I have 14" HX rims with 185/65 tires and my front tires tuck half an inch and I don't rub unless I'm turning hard up onto a driveway.
