then research.

How low you can go also depends on your tires specs i.e. width offset
and whether you have your fenders rolled.

Also, some coilovers cant go as low as others.

Not sure what you are asking?

How do you lower a car?

How much can you lower your car? No one except you knows. We don't have the car to make a guess.

+1 ... 2 chubbs in each seat, cram one in the back, and 1 lays accross the 2 in seats.

Then take measurements.

Then take car to wash to rid of chubb sweat and dirty fat vage smell.

Repeat wash.

Buy springs accordingly.

This is exactly what happens when you jump straight in with a question without spending some time to search. Tons of info on your topic. Just get off your *** and search.

No springs works best.

I really like my Hotchkis Stage 1 TVS Kit. Just enough drop. I just had an alignment done. Even with the kit on I am still with in the Spec, but pushing the outer limits of the spec.
