definitely get coilovers. Originally I had gotten springs and i didnt like the way the car sat. they werent low enough, and the front sat higher than the back which looked retarded.

I have since upgraded to ground control coilovers with koni shocks and my car now sits perfectly. i arranged them so that the front wheels are just a tad bit tucked under the fender which i think looks hot as hell, while the back sits just a teeny bit higher than the front, for that more aggressive look.

coilovers...hands down

no don't cut the springs

Do it right either get springs that will give you the drop desired or go the coilover route and have the adjustability
