If you go 2" or lower you will probably need caster/camber plates (expensive) and your shocks/struts will likely need to be replaced within a year or so. Esp. if you have the stockers on there now.

you might also run into wheel/tire interference with the front steering and wheelwells if you lower it too much too.
