Default Lowering front end

Got my 21"/18" wheel set on order. I am going to lower the front 1" to maintain ride quality. I wanted to hear from the guys that have done this. Do I go with the complete Race Tech setup with the Gold emulators. The Race Tech springs with the Ricor Intiminators? Progressive springs with either the Gold Emulators or Intiminators? Would love to do it right the first time. Guys that have done it please chime in.
