Eibachs or Tanabes might be what you're looking for. maybe Megans? F-Sports only provide a "mild" drop.
If you decide to change your mind, you can always go for a full coilover setup.

s-techs are 1.6" up front and 1.2" in the rear.
road magnet springs will get you that 2" lowering.
anything lower, and you should look into coilovers.

2 feet of drop will require at least a coilover system. I'd go with air though if you're looking to drop 2'.

The lowest drop you can get on springs would be either the H&R or road magnets and those would be around 1.6" and 1.2" rear.
If you want 2" drop your only choices are coilovers or air.

Was within factory spec after lowered and TOE was corrected.
