Dood.. whatever you do, DO NOT cut your springs. that is the redneck way of doing it. first of all, you would have to cut all 4 the exact size which is hard to do. second, you will encounter more problems in the long run if you do it that way..
my advice, coilovers or springs
1) coilovers - adjustable usually between 2 and 4 inches which is really cool for getting the exact height your looking for. downfall is that coilovers do affect your ride much more than lowering spings.
2)springs- if your going to go with springs, go with a progressive drop spring. the cars weight will determine the final resting place of the springs. this is your best way not to mess your ride up. only downfall - not adjustable. if you have a stock body kit on it, you will not have any problems. if you have a huge body kit, you may be only an inch or 2 from the ground.. like my car

DO NOT CUT YOUR SPRINGS!!! Just by a set of springs off ebay. A name brand set. Dont get cheap with it or youll regret it everytime you hit the smallest bump.

cut your springs. But dont take them off the car when you do it. Just use a dremel to take 3 or 4 inches off.
