Sucks about the wreck man.
2" drop go with the neuspeed race springs with koni struts (only struts currently available) or go with hayame coilovers for around $650 (strut and springs together) or if money is no object go with the tein HA with EDFC and control the height from inside the car.
Mainly, though, use the search function to find out reviews/heights of current available setups.

EDFC controls the damping not the ride height.... and it doesnt fit our cars any way, unless you have an Si.

Tein pulled the HA shocks. They were deemed way too rough for US roads. The Flex replaced them, but the EDFC doesn't fit.

what size tires? chances you wont be able to tuck with the neuspeed race. I had the race with 215-40-18s and i didnt even tuck. it was just dead even. no gap, no tuck, just even. you can tuck with hayames no problem tho. It'll be cheaper than race + konis and you'll also be able to adjust the height to your liking. Probably also save on install(konis you need to cut the stock shocks) as well since hayames are a direct swap and anyone mechanically inclined can do it.
