Do whatever you want. It's your car. For an even lower look you can cut the springs and heat them.

It can be done and the process is no different then doing in on any other car. Its a very unpopular mod here so you will find very little info and close to no support for it. How to info somewhere else, getting it done, and then reporting back here with some feedback on how it all went and whether or not you are happy with the result.

I would cut my springs way before I would ever heat them. Heating up the springs will change the material's properties.

But people don't really care about silly things like that. I mean, if you're going to ask the question it's pretty obvious.

That is true, which is why most setups fail.

^^^Can you resize those so they're bigger? It's really hard to see any difference between the pics because they're so small.
