cheapest way,remove one coil from spring...same ride as before.depending on budget smalls does a good drop low on vehicle.

gaza setup
cut one coil, been there done that and it works. It gets the job done.

the lowering springs give you a totally different ride tho Its lower and solid, It doesnt feel bouncy

My advice don't try them ricer bizness and cut springs. Best bet is to go with Tiens HTech along those lines or if u have a little more cash get some progressive springs like eibach or h&r smooth ride. And your car won't be uneven

To my knowledge
Tiens- tuner imports, Charlieville
Megan M2- Tsc, Rio claro

Both are powersellers on tuner.
The eibach, might come out better importing this yourself

h-tech are more stock ride/height. the s-tech are used to lower the ride height however the drop on the s-tech is about 2 inches and could affect the ride if the shock cannot accommodate the new movement range. prices vary from $1500 go up. if that isnt within your budget, cut one coil of your spring, the ride would remain the same.
