That's like twice as much as stock.
In the $1k range....
If you really must have a bigger drop (more than around an inch), I'd recommend coilovers. You should get a set with quality valving...that's the biggest priority and unfortunately the hardest part to get good information about. Nothing around $1k is going to have
great valving. ST and Bilstein PSS will be pretty good but won't work well for drops over 1.5 inches. For big drops, you should consider BC or whatever else...that's not my thing.
For a primarily street driven car with a drop of 1 inch or less, springs are good. For $1k you can build a good handling set-up that still rides well and is functional. I would prefer this route over cheap coilovers but I don't need/want a big drop.
If you do track days or auto-x, you should consider increasing your suspension budget. You can still have fun stock or with good springs, but coilovers or springs with at least a few toppings will go a long way.
