Default suspension question

is there any way to lower your car more if you have a strut/spring setup, instead of a coilover type?

Short of weighing my car down, of course.

Cut your springs, or old school it and buy/run spring compressors.

Why don't you just do it right and get different springs? How low of a drop do you want anyway? I wouldn't go with anything lower then 2.0 inch. Lower then that and your just causing more trouble for yourself.

i actually would prefer to do springs since i have done them once before, but if i decide to get bigger rims or if i get tired of my car being so low, it would be nice to have the ride-height adjustment feature that you get with coilovers. it would be nice to find if you can just buy the part that goes around the spring so you can adjust ride height...
