don't bother until you have $1000 to commit (just in case something goes wrong.) simply cutting stock springs will make the car bottom out all the time. You need 'drop springs' because they are stiffer to compensate for the lowered body of the car, thereby keeping the car from bottoming out (among other problems associated with cutting springs). You will also need GOOD quality (ie, NOT monroe or other cheap ****) struts to go with these springs.... high-rate springs will eat cheap struts for breakfast (won't even make it lunch, if you catch my drift). KYB-GR2 is good (for slight drops). Tokico is better. Koni (red) is best. Konis are adjustible.
any other way you do it in the interest of saving money is gonna leave you wishing you'd followed my advice.
as for where to get it....
