Default tein coilover and springs

i currently have tein ss on my 02 v6 coupe and they are lowerd as low as they can go but i still want it lower. its lowered 3 in the front and 2.5 in the back. i was wondering if instead of cutting the springs that came with my coils would i be able to just buy a set of lowering springs and put those in instead or would have have to go some alternative route?

cause riding dumped is the only way to ride.

I was going to say tanabe pro210's. they make a great if not the greatest spring out there if your looking to ride low. just make sure to go with a higher spring rate. If you go less than 10kg/mm you might be bottoming out too much. In fact your probably going to give up all the ride quality you have with those teins. I wanna see pics when its dumped
