KYB GR 2's are a cheap non-adjustable replacement shock.

Neuspeed race springs are available for less than $200 shipped, provide a decent handling ability, and drop you 2.5".

I think his point is, when you drop that low, it's automatically going to handle like **** because, at that point you're riding on the bump-stops. For a suspension to work like a suspension, it has to be able to move. Every inch you drop is an inch of suspension travel you're taking away from the suspension. Eventually there's nothing left.
