Agreed
How well does your car handle? I'm looking to get new suspension on my 2ga Awd talon, I've been looking around and was thinking of getting tokico illumina with a sleeve coil set up. But your ride looks sickk

Here's my DD 1997 Esi Talon, Stock Gs-r Eclipse chrome wheels with a 2" tenzo R drop. (Springs)
Handles beautifully, Caution you will need a camber in the rear at the least.

Springs, struts, camber kit. Cheapest you can do it for is around $350 for all of that. That is the VERY least you should spend. Look up camber kit DIY's. You can DIY the rear cambers, but you will have to buy a front camber kit.
Don't cheap out though. If you do you may get uneven ride height, poor ride quality, parts breaking after only a couple thousand miles, parts not fitting, and even parts that endanger your life by your cars poor reaction to them.

He ^^^ Is right you want to make sure you have all the suspension components in working order before you do a lowering. I already had new struts installed when I did my springs. Haven't installed my front bushing camber because those have to be pressed out/in.
Get a good brand of struts, going cheap on suspension can be costly.

Yeah, after I did the Tokico Shock/Spring set up on the Eclipse I noticed the rear is toed in alittle...Not enough for me to have bothered with in the 7 months I've had it done...And tread on tire hasn't worn noticably, and I drive alot! But it's on my to do list, I'm just the king of procrastination, and maybe selling it soon One DSM is enough.

I had to use adjustable ball joint and a rear camber kit.

okay so are there 2 inch packages which include the struts, lowering springs and cambers?

Maybe springs and cambers but not struts, that I know of anyways, If you want struts that are affordable and will be good on springs, Tokico, Kyb. The springs are your choice, (tenzo R's 116 shipped Ebay)
As for the camber kit, I bought one off of ebay and it works like a charm its your choice though, mine was 55 for front and rear.
