Lowest lowering spring? H&R?

Hey guys, is the lowest spring still the H&R sport? Looking for about a 2" drop, any ideas? Thanks!

You probably won't get 2" on springs.

Sounds like a job for coilovers.

Just quickly looking at WayMotorWorks, H&R do go lowest as far as what Way carries, and it's 1.4"

I installed H&R springs in the car last week. I noticed about an inch drop so far. It should get a little lower after it has settled a little. Here are pics of my car for a comparison:
