get a few or just one really big friend. Get him to sit on car and while spring is compressed take some industrial tie wraps and wrap the springs while compressed. Will lower it and cost you less than 10 bucks!

I have heard of people compressing their OEM springs while heating them up with a torch so when it cools off, they are shorter. But this sounds to me like a really bad idea. It sounds like it could severely compromise the strength of the spring, and I don't know about you, but I don't want to be stuck on the side of the road with broken springs. Someone correct me on that if I'm wrong, about it being a bad idea. I'm just speculating.
