you can purchase small spring clamps that can raise/lower your car by holding 2 coils and either expanding or contracting them which lowers/raises your car.. they are adjustable so you can play with the height of your car more easily...
The only drawback is that it can impede your suspension travel

| I think theyre a stupid idea, they are a bit better than cutting springs, but not much... Don't be a fucken tightarse and buy proper lowered springs, lowering you're car isnt supposed to make it look fully sick it is intended as a performance upgrade for handling. |

| I dunno how safe that'd be aye. driving along and all. some dude had his car lowered in a fashion similar to that, but home made, and all the bumps and shit made the clamp break, sending him into a barrier, killing himself. |
