2 INCHES should be just fine, with no modification.

always check numbers (clearance in your case) before you do anything, but yeah 2 inches should be fine.
I am the one who cant decide whether to get GC sleeve over or eibach sportiline\prokit :\

Around two inches is when camber starts to come into play though. And it also depends on the profile of your tires and your offset as to whether or not it might be rub your fender liner. I would go about 1.7 myself, should look nice and clean without any camber problems.

What would be the best springs for a 1.5 - 2.0 inch drop. I dont want a harsh ride, Just something to fill in the wheel gap, Plus I'll need BETTER shocks.

Read the basic guide and pick out which setup you would like to go with.

Typically a spring and shocks versus coilovers ride a little better. I have eibach sportlines with KYB agx's and the ride is perfect...close to stock but with less body roll
