    heat em.. make em sag.. or you can just thow bags of sand in the back. and spray cement in your engine bay to equal out the weight! Air ride is also a great way to lower. but it really depends on how low you want to go. look at some VMAX coils from stratmosphere. they are very reasonably price and not to bad either
    Best regards,

    Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone
    bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

    Depends how you want to go about it. You can get springs for $250ish which are cheap and pretty good. Or coilovers which begin at $500-1200. The topic is covered everywhere, just search.
