you might want to be a little more specific, just a set of springs will do that for <$500. is the car your daily, driving habits and do you see any track time, are you going more for performance or comfort, do you mind losing edc or want to retain it, would you also want to replace your shocks or look at other options to upgrade? if you just want all the options that will lower your car ~1" for under 2k, it's going to be a realllly long list.

Very true lol, sorry. Its a daily driver, i dont drive slow but i wouldn't do track time. I would definitely prefer comfort and i not lose edc. I would prefer to have all the options. Ultimately i just want it for looks. I have done a lot to it performance wise so id hate to lose it.

For cars with EDC, lowering springs like Eibachs work very well, however, it won't lower your car 1"

Dinan springs would be a good option too, along with Dinan shockware.

Regarding coilovers, KW V1 goes for around $1450, I have the same on my xDrive, good range of lowering, great comfort and improved handling. Their EDC cancellation kit is about $250. Check out my recent pics in "What did you do to your F3X today?" thread to get some idea, there's one on the last page too. I don't have it lowered all the way down, there's still room for more lowering.

If you budget is $2K, KW V1 coilovers would be a good choice. Please note that a 4 wheel alignment plus installation will push the budget slightly north of $2K (but for good reasons).
