Personally, I think a 2 inch drop is a little too low. I don't know enough about suspension issues to get into the effect it might have on shocks, struts, and frame...

But I do know the effect if you use the vehicle anywhere like a daily driver...

I like my 1.5 inch pro-kit, it looks great, and can still clear MOST speed bumps if I slow down enough. I think your taking a gamble on your cats and exhaust if you go much lower....

Go with the pro-kit. You really don't want to go over the 1.5" drop. The suspension will suffer as well as the ride from being that low. Too much stress will be put on your suspesion if you go any lower. Stuff will then break including the frame. Not good.
