Moss and VB both sell one and two inch drop suspension with the one inch
offering both original or uprated spring rates, and the two inch being a
race suspension. I think that any of these are your best bet.  My advice
to you though is to keep everything inder the car very clean, ie. tuck the
exhaust etc up as close to the floor as you can.  My roadster is about an
inch low and my GT will have 1 inch lowered suspension and the roadster
drags on the ground over speedbumps and transitions from street to parking
lot.  If you don't keep the bottom of the car clean you will rip parts off
of it.
