I think we can all agree Cusco is a very respectable company with quality parts, no? Rear LCA is just over $500 from ft86SF. Nearly all rear LCAs are in the 400-500$ range. Subframe risers: 100$ if you can do the work yourself. Front LCAs from Cusco are quite spendy at 800$. Add shipping and you are in fact nearing $2500.
I don't believe hardly any of these parts are necessary to "handle well". Do you want to win the championship? Then maybe you need them. But lowering the car 2 inches will in no way "destroy"the handling, make it unsafe to drive, or anything of the sort. It might not handle AS WELL as a stock height FRS but as mentioned above, the spring rates and dampers will likely make up the difference. For anyone who isn't a SERIOUS racer, the parts necessary to fix your alignment is all you'll need. If your only concern is better lap times you either wouldn't be looking at lowering your car this much or you would already know what you needed
