You need to get some aftermarket lowering springs.Eibach, Sprint, Suspension Techniques, and Intrax seem to be the major companies for springs.

Your struts need to be replaced to dampen the greater rebound the new springs will have.

My buddy and I replaced my shocks and struts in around 4 1/2hours. Trial and error! Next time,Maybe take us 2 1/2 hours. We have changed springs on other cars though so we had some experience.

I have Suspension Technique springs and tokico struts and got (supposed to be 1.5" drop) actually 1.7". I paid all together around $500 for springs and struts.

If you are not sure you can do this yourself I would pay to have it done.
