Just kidding...
What is your price range? There are so many options.

"The ECS Coil Over System allows you to retrofit your existing struts and shocks with adjustable spring purchases. "

You said "$2000 max" for the suspension which is way more than enough for some of the best stuff out there. Or did you mean $2000 for wheels and suspension together?

im paying for suspension myself so i was looking at them at ecs and i saw them as high at 1500 so i was saying if theres something better for under 2K ill get them, i want a good drop ammount, not something where it gets unsafe, but i want them fully adjunstable. the ultra low ones look good they go from 1" to 3" on both front and rear

If you're looking to spend a max of $2000 on the suspension alone then you can get a really nice drop. I'm looking at Stasis coilovers right now because they're in my price range.
