Want to lower 2000 ex..

Whats up this is my 1st post. Im coming from a 2002 S2000.. (Sadly) . Anywhoo, I want to lower this car, im on a budget, Im looking for at least a 2 inch drop, and I will be using stock struts for now. Im debating between the neuspeed race springs and I just found dropzone coil overs for around $150, which is shockingly cheap. What is my best bet? I will be putting on some 16's later in may.
Gracias!
Edit- Im also hoping to improve the handling not just for the look

I hate to break this to you but shocks, tires, and sway bars determine most of handling, not springs. Throwing springs on your car will improve the feel of handling but in reality, will make handling worse over time. Dropzone is cheap for a reason, they suck. My suggestion is that you can't lower your car well "on a budget". If you want a mild budget, get some tein basics or megan coilovers. You will end up paying more in the long run if you just buy springs, especially low springs.

Its all going to come together slowly but surely. I went ahead and ordered the neuspeed race springs, and will probably get rota slip streams 16x7 next month and the following month the shocks.
