I am actually thinkining of lowering and rewelding the lower spring perches on the strut tube, and hacking off between a 1/4 and 1/2 coil to increase the spring rate slightly. Im not talking about hacking a whole coil off, that would be stupid. I am just trying to lower the car about an inch and a half, and tighten it up a bit. I could buy new springs which would cost me 200 plus, or I can do this for free.
