Lowered suspension?
Looking to lower my suspension for performance as well as appearance...thinking about making my FB a drift car. Can't really afford Re-speed coilovers, what do you guys think is the best alternative? Not really looking to slam it, but lower is better.

Well you can go with the racing beat lowering springs, but they might not lower your car any because the originals are currently sagging most likely.
Now, coilovers are your best bet.
Or you can go with the unsafe way and cut your springs.
This topic is also covered A LOT. Use the search function and have fun. There is more than enough information available on this site alone.

Within limits; if you lower it too far without making some fairly major changes to the geometry, your rear suspension will have a tendency to bind kinda abruptly in curves.
But then, you're interested in drifting, so it's not like maintaining traction while cornering is a goal for you, huh?

I used tokico blues, with suspension technique springs, it gives you an ok drop, compared to stock.
Also considere the wheels you want to use 13"-16" and offset. Tire size can also be used to fill the ugly gap from the fender.
