taking the springs out is cheaper and easier and does the same thing or you can just heat up the stock springs with a torch and let it sag until you get the drop you think is k00

dont forget the roll center kit, and a new MSI rear subframe to correct for the geometry loss.

and notch the frame so your axles don't rub. and don't complain about a really harsh ride cause you'll have next to nothing in terms of bump travel.

Any lower than s-techs and you may as well not have any springs at all. Just use the bumpstops to support the weight of the car, it'll be pretty much undriveable anyway.

You obviously don't care about suspension geometry, handling, or ride quality, so just get s-techs or Cobb springs.

use the lowest profile tire made and then you can lower the car and not worry about being grouped into the hella flush crowd... Or you could just take the springs out and stack washers until you get the desired height.
