Buy TEIN S.Tech springs and KYB AGX struts/shocks off of Ebay for about $500 shipped and post some pics for me because I'm curious on how that 2.2"F/1.8"R drop looks. 
But yea, please do them both at the same time, it'll save you headaches later on down the road after attempting to lower with your stock struts/shocks.

2 (or 3) schools of thought.
1) If I could do it again, I'd buy struts first, ride those with stock springs for several months and decide what kinda springs I want. Decide on ride height and springrate. Then buy spring
2) (this's how it happened to me) If you can get springs for super cheap, get them now! Install them if you're tempted to. But waiting for struts is better. Weak struts makes for unsafe ride. You'll bounce around and tire will lose contact. When they regain contact, and if your wheel isn't straight, your car will dart left and right. Very dangerous! 2ndly, weak struts will dramatically increase your stopping distance. Your nose will dive, rear will lift, rear will lock up, and you'll never stop... just plow. Don't do this!
3) Get both done at the same time. You don't get to learn what each component does... it'll be harder to tweak your suspension later on. It'll save you $ and time. If something goes wrong, you got 2 things to figure out.
Good luck dood.
