Just really depends on what type of ride you are looking for. Cheap methods of lower include cutting or heating the springs. More out of pocket expense include buying the lowering kits that will come with shorter stacks of springs and so on..

If you can find 2in drop spindles that would be the way to go. I put 2in drop spindles on my 88monte SS, it rides great and the alignment is really good. You might run into some clearance issues with the back of the rim rubbing against the control arm. Just check into it before you drop your $$.
