Preludes are known for their grace in and out of corners. Putting the undercarriage on the ground completely defeats the purpose. So use a Civic instead.

That said, having no springs is the easiest way to achieve your goal.

Please don't ruin another Prelude and embarrass yourself by dropping your car to the ground.

But, to answer your question, you won't be able to buy anything that will just bolt in and get your car that low. You need to learn about how suspension works and get under there and look at your car. There are a hundred ways to get as low as you want, but it will take some work...cutting, welding, etc etc type of work.
