C30Shaka,

If your just going to use it for street I would leave it stock or maybe add a few inches of drop. If you are looking for something for off road, it would probably be just as cheap to buy an old used 4x4. This is just my 2 cents which doesn't meen much. I am a 4x4 man myself but have been looking closely at getting a 2WD.
Of course I think I will probably go with a 3"-4" drop.
