I want my car to sit that low, and no lower, but I cannot afford the STANCE coilovers he has on that car. What can I get to lower the ride, but not spend that much???

What up Kdog, it's Vince from the D&B meet last year. If the roads are anything like here in Cincy, you don't want to be that low else you might end up leaving pieces of your car on the road behind you.

Hey how r u? The roads in columbus aren't like they are in cincy, we rarely come across any big hills...:-) I would like to lower it a small amount, not enough to bother me as this is my daily driver, but enough to make it look sharp.

Stance coilovers are not cheap.

I also wouldn't recommend them, or any other than Koni or Ohlins for our cars.
I would go with the Koni yellows, and depending on your driving stlye, some linear springs.

if u were to cut the springs would lose any handling/grip/comfort that the springs provide?

it won't be cheap dropping your car that low, you will need to purchase the camber and toe arms and bolts

Anything that low is not going to be very streetable! You're going to trash your exhaust tips, your front lip is going to grind off, if not crack. And you'll most like have to call a tow truck to get you off a speed bump!

IMHO, if you aint got the cash to do it right, don't!
Just go with some hotchiss street springs and call it a day. Anything lower and you'll run into camber issues in which you'll need to spend more $ that you don't seem to have. You keep the streetablility of the car intact and the comfort will not suffer either.
