On a mild 2" front drop, would you use spindles or coil springs?

You could do coils for cheap, spindles if you want higher quality.

Spindles will have a smoother ride. If you are looking for better handling, look at the hotchkis coils.

For just a 2" drop I would go with coils! If you want to go lower in the future you can put spindles on and have a 4" drop.
