Thinking about ways to lower your ride? Go for lowering springs. They're a lot cheaper than adjustable coilover kits. Whatever you do, don't cut your springs. Don't even think about it. Neither should you blowtorch your car's springs to soften them up. Both amateur and professional ricers who are concerned more about the way their cars look, rather than how they perform and handle, typically do both of these methods. Lowering springs are perfectly balanced in terms of stiffness. They're designed to provide adequate handling and performance. These springs don't sag, unlike blowtorched OEM springs, and are not as rock-hard as cut springs are. Thus, you don't get the usual nose dive, rear-end dip, or body roll that softened OEM springs have, nor will you experience any unusual bouncing. You definitely will not be labeled as a ricer. And, you'll still be sitting comfortably in your car despite it rolling closer to the ground. Lowering springs do have a requirement, though. You should replace your OEM shock absorbers, too, since your stock shocks may be too long for these springs. Since they're going to be compressed more than normal, they'll likely bottom out on really bumpy roads, resulting in hydraulic fluid leak and eventual damage. No sweat.
