Dont cut or Heat springs.. This is not a good idea, and it can be very dangerous. Chances are your car will handle like crap, sit uneven, and could very well cause an accident.
Save your money and do it right the first time. Atleast buy springs and new shocks. You could use your stock shocks for a while aslong as you dont go to low. When looking for replacement shocks for lowering springs, try to get a shock with a shorter shock body. This will help keep your shock from bottoming out which will cause premature death to the shock. Usually if they are cheaper shocks, they are probably just OEM replacements. Tokico blues, most KYB, etc. You really do get what you pay for when you buy suspension.
When replacing suspension Airtools will make your life alot easier. It can be done with normal wrenches and rachets, it just takes longer, and can sometimes be a lot more of a PITA to get bolts loose with. A torque wrench is always a good thing to use too. When you reinstall your bolts some anti-sieze is always a great idea also. Theres nothing worse then braking off suspension bolts. Once you have all your suspension back in, take it to a shop and get it aligned. You may need a camber kit as well. They will tell you if you do.
