well here are ur options:
idea:
new springs and stock shocks
results:
ur stocks shocks will sooner or later blow out cuz'n u to bottom out. the length of time depends on how u drive and ur drop
idea:
cutting stock springs and getting new shocks
results:
same as above only difference is the amount of time b4 bottoming out will happen sooner cuz stock springs arent made to ride low
idea:
new springs and shocks:
result:
u can get the drop u want (depends on springs) and u can have shocks designed to ride at a lowered height. also u can get teh style you like (soft ride, hard right, close to stock..)
now with all options u will have increased cornering, visual differences with ur car.. also depending on total drop if anything atleast 2" or more u need a chamber kit or "washer" method (i do chamber)

My H&R Sport with Koni Yellow dropped my car about 2-inch. I don't think I can handle 3!
