For a 2 inch drop you might want to look at coilovers, that seems like a lot for springs.

I think 16" rims look better, but 15" rims will probally be lighter and faster.

I got tein s-techs on my honda and they ride very well i think its about 1.7 in the front and 1.5 in the rear, and 16s would look pretty good, but 17s would always look better

Eibach Sport Line springs should go down about 2" depending on your vehicle. They have been around forever and you rarely hear anything bad about their products.
