To be SLAMMED you're going to be looking at a full coilover setup, which could be anywhere from $800-1800, or an airbag setup which I'm guessing is even more. Probably rolling your fenders or cutting and doing some sort of fender flare or widebody setup depending on how big of a wheel you want to use.

If you're cheap you might be able to do some of those cheap ebay "coilovers" which are basically springs with an adjustable perch, but you'll blow your struts pretty quickly. Wouldn't worry about ride quality since there really is no slammed car that rides nicely.

Or for free you could do the Honda method of slamming and cut your springs. Actually not a bad method for lowering like an inch, but anything more than that and your car will pretty much be undriveable.
