The only way to really lower your car (2" or more) is with coilovers. If you are just getting aftermarket springs, you risk messing up the ride/handling because the springs may be too stiff and the shocks/struts too soft (probable) or the reverse, springs soft and shocks/struts too stiff (only possibly). The coilovers (usually) are developed to work together and also give you the most adjustment. You could also cut or bend your springs which is really If you are buying the coilovers from a competent professional, they will ask your planned use and give you the correct spring rates and shock/stut settings, which there are many...just go to any spring site (eibach, H&R, etc) and see the many different spring rates, heights etc. If you think coilovers are too expensive, figure the price based on how many miles you will use them with a smile vs a frown (cost/miles). $1000/50,000 miles...at 2 cents per mile I think you can afford them.
