Edit: I'd go with the Mach set up and the "F" lowering springs. The Mach kit comes with sway bars, shocks/struts for around $299 (Bullitt kit has springs too and is $399). Since you want to lower it so much, you won't need the Bullitt springs.
The Ford "F" lowering springs are about $210.
You could probably leave your stock shocks/struts on for awhile and get the Ford "F" lowering springs and c/c plates for right at $300. That will get you the drop, but you stock shocks/struts will wear out quickly.
GR-2s are OK if you are using stock springs. They'll blow out just as quickly as your stockers if you put lowering springs on them.
I've had H&R Supersports and Mach I shocks and struts for 1.5yrs and that is a great budget combo. $179 for the shock/strut set and $220 for the springs. Add $175 or so for C/C plates and you're all set.
BTW, the Supersports are advertised as something like 1.8"F/1.6"R and its more like a 2" all around once it settles a week or so after install.
