The short answer is you replace the springs with ones designed to lower the ride height, but then you will want to match the struts to the springs. Some companies sell them as a set which seems like the way to go. You will then need an alignment after you change out the parts and you may need additional parts to get the camber and caster in specs from the change in ride height.

taking the air out of the tires would work and it is free.. :-)

the advises you got are good,, you might want to search the net for a complete lowering kit.

it should include springs, struts, camber kits in order to do a proper alignment or your car will wear tires real fast ..

coilover springs are ALOT smaller if you are comparing them to factory. They are shorter and skinnier too. What coilovers did you buy?

ehh I wouldn’t trust them. They don’t even give you a spring rate??.wtf?!?...IMPO don’t use them. Suspension is very very important parts on your car. Don’t cheap out if you don’t have the money to spend to do it right...then stay OEM. Otherwise you WILL have problems down the road. btw ebay coilover sleeves are notorious for snapping. IF one breaks your screwed. You can wreck and hurt/kill yourself and or others.
