Lowering springs that give you a 2" drop, or you can get a set of coilovers and raise and lower it whenever you want.

springs: Part of the damper assembly, which absorbs some of the forces of bumps from the road. Sits on shock/strut. Spring rate is the measure of how much force the spring will have over a given distance i.e. 400 pounds per inch.

Coilovers: Same as above, with the exception that they are placed over a metal sleeve which has locking perches that can be adjusted up or down in order to lower or raise the ride height of the car.

Shocks("Shox"): Another component of the damper assembly. Basically they are gas filled tubes that, in conjunction with the spring, absorb uneven road surfaces, while maintaining tire contact with the ground.

Hope that helps.
