You can always do the thing and cut them if you want to completely do away with the spring rates and value tire rubbing over handling performance. ;0)

Or you could get coilovers like mj50 said. H&R makes a nice coilover kit for the 203.

yeah, i was considering getting the coilovers...but for that extra 1.0 - 1.5 inch drop?? dang....anyway, the coilovers @ the h&r site says it only does a 2.2 inch drop max, i'm doing a 2.0 inch drop right now...and i see other ppl with h&r coilovers and they have a perfect frontend drop....i don't think 0.2 inches will do anything...
