Well if you want stiffer springs your probably not gonna get it from the ones with a 2" drop. Most of the good springs are around a 1.5" and for struts you could go with some adjustables.

Sorry, I'm so late but, here's my input on the question.....
If you really want a "big" drop, I would suggest coilovers. It's a two bird, one stone kill there. You get the adjustability to 2"+ and, as long as you don't get the ebay brand and you'll have stiffer spring rates (assuming you contact the vendor with what you want). KYB AGX, Koni (preferred) are good shocks that will and can work with those conversion coilovers (you're going to have to get rid of the GR2s though)........or, you can get real coilovers (not the conversions) like TEINs.
Tires...put a camber kit on first (front and back). The stockers are only 6" wide, there's not much of a choice in wider tires.
I would imagine that you need camber for the front and back if you're lowered to 2"+/-. After a 1.5" drop, most cars need to correct their camber and toe. Where you get the camber kits are really up to you because there's plenty to chose from front and back (you can even do the DIY rear camber kit).
