Depending what brands $1500-4000 cheaper for say D2 shit!

Yes any coilovers will slam your ride low enough for what you want!

Do you want the car to look very low ("good"??) or do you actually want it to handle well. If the latter, you will need to spend over $2500 (fitted) for reasonable coilovers.
The trick is to buy something good quality (eg Tein SS, G4's if you can get them or DMS...in ascending order of quality/performance) and not to go much lower than -35 or -40mm over standard for good handling. See many other threads on this subject on this website.

Buy buy buy buy buy !!!!

I just picked up a pair of tein SS's which are easy to find for around the $2k mark and another ~$700 if u want EDFC (electronic damper force control?).

After about a month and a half of looking for second hand whitelines I had to settle for the teins.
Have a look at the thread I started a few wks ago. Although its not for an 01 wrx, it gives an idea of what the others think of different coilovers:
