swift springs or eibach pro-kit (springs) on stock shocks. They're both progressive springs, and from my experience with the eibach's it feels pretty good even on stock shocks (I tested it on the track)

You WILL harm the handling if you do this.

Ray can probably outdrive most people with high dollar suspension systems using this car with the hacksawed springs.

But yeah, there are better ways to do it. None that are quite as free, though....

Tein S-Tech's all the way w/ stock shocks.
Not as low a drop as you described (about 1") but ride and handling are like stock and on 18's you will look sick. Here's mine on stock 17's pc'd. BTW - tein S.Techs are about $150 shipped and an alignment will be about $60to $80. And make sure you do align it.
