Why you want to slam the car to the ground?
You realize this screws up the suspensions, and you're going to be buying expensive parts to replace all the broken pieces.

Slamming the rears lower than 1" induces nagative camber that eats tires and hurts acceleration.

There's a reason why the big spring companies don't make springs that drop over 1".

I would recommend swapping the shocks out first. In my experience, replacing the shocks makes the MOST difference in the suspension.

Almost all the sway bar kits are good for the car. Brands include Suspension Techniques, Eibach, and Racing Beat. I think the RB units are the cheapest?
