well youcan buy soem tein s-techs which are good and i would recommend a skunk two camber kit for thr front and if ya need it the rear to, but get skunk2, had them for a year and no prob the s-techs cost about $200 and the camber kita about $130 and this is for a good set up, probably go with some tokiko shocks to but thats only if ya want to but if ya dont care go to ebay
If you're a namebrand whore expect to pay over a grand easy.
Only namebrand I got were shocks, and I love my suspension.
These are estimated, I've had these for over a year and don't really remember:
Tokico Blues - 275 shipped
Dropzone Lowering Springs - Around 75 shipped
Strut/Tie/C Pillar Bars - Maybe 75 or so total
Don't remember how much my camber kit ran me. Been too long.
All you really need are the springs to lower it, if you're on a major budget. However, without aftermarket shocks your stock struts are gonna blow in no time. And if it's lowered a lot, you'll be going through tires like crazy without a camber kit.

well you could get some 10s and then youll be low for about $100. Fill the car with sandbags now your even lower for cheaper.
tenzo-r springs and camberkit for $200

my best estimate...
coils/springs...about 270 plus new.
front camber (with or w/out control arm)...about 100-200 new.
rear camber...about 9 bucks diy.
alignment...about 70.
shocks...about 250 plus..
this is my guess, feel free to correct me guys and gals.

that sounds about right. springs could be less..my setup was
sprint springs - 90 shipped
gr2s - 190 shipped
install was about 150, which i regret not trying to do myself 1st
alignment - 75, normal pricing..
i do however regret not doing it right the FIRST time, and not getting camber kits, which i dont think it will kill me right away, but i definitly have negative in the rear, -2. its a 1.5' drop. so in conclusion, get everything at once, get the top brands you want, and you'll love it.

go to passwordjdm.com, buy the omnipower full coilover package that comes with the front and rear camber kits for 950 and your set, great suspention and you can adjust the height and dampening... i did just coil sleeves before and regreted it... but to each his own
mine cost 230 I believe....it all depends on the ride quality and performance you want....I'm not that much of an aggressive driver so I just bought some eibach sportline springs which dropped it a lil over 2 inches. Ride quality is still really good.....but anything over 2 you might want to consider buying new shocks b/c thats a lot of stress.
on my last hatch i had
GR-2= 200
ground control coils= 269
install = 150
I kind of regret it cuz you realy dont need to adjust your height much ( I never did). And for the same price I could get a tokico spring/shock kit and thats going for like 489 and the 2 are made for each other
I must say my new coupe almost handles like a dream unless its like a lot of consecutive humps. So I asked the previous owner what was there for suspension, and he says cut spirngs!!!! This is honestly the best handling/feeling car with cut springs i have ever come across. Would I ever considered cutting my springs ... nope! but the're working ok so ill leave them til i need new ones
