Please don't do the cowboy cheap for cash heat springs way. DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. All that's gonna happen one day is your gonna make a turn or just crusing around and suddenly you lose a piece of your coil spring you heated and hacked, and have a sagging un-even ride. Just get some front coil-overs and do it the right way. They cost like $275 - $445 Bucks. Go to jegs and look.

Don't "Hack" the springs... Get adjustable coil-overs so you will have a choice, there only like $150.00 at jegs or summit. So you can lower your car, and still have a choice how low you wanna go or how high you wanna fly.
