I would go with Eibach springs.
I would also go with Flowmaster or a Dynomax cat-back exhaust.

Various site you can check out are www.suncoastcreations.com www.ftforce.com www.ebay.com www.driverfx.com www.hawksthirdgenparts.com

or better yet http://thunderracing.com http://slponline.com for your lid
http://reflectiveconcepts.com for your decals or http://firebatscave.com
and i would go with a regular flowmaster 80 series. i truly believe thats the best bang for your buck.
for the springs, eibach if you have money or H&R if you dont.

and a 2 inch drop might be hard to find. have you tried suspension techniques? or maybe even some coilovers? do they have those for our cars??

All you had to do is a little searching within the links I gave you

Go to "Select Drop Rate:" and click "1.75-2.00"

They are both compatible, as long as you have a 98 or newer f-body which I assume you do since you are looking into a whisper lid. Also you can get a better air filter like k&n to make your induction even more complete. Also i would recomend taking off your air silencer and getting a flexible intake hose in its place if don't get the whiper lid( I think the whisper lid does this also) It makes your car sound better and gives it some more power.

It's the ram air kit they're referring to as the CAI. Fasttoys, SLP and Whisper are the main companies that makes them. Tbyrne sells both the lid and ram air kit. As far as springs, I went with sprint springs. It dropped my car 2+ inches all around.

both!

the airlid goes on top- what you see when you pop the hood. the cold air induction goes underneath the lid- you will be able to see it behind the radiator from underneath the car only. its really simple. for the cold air induction you will have to cut some plastic on your car for it to fit and it falls right into place.
