Lowering options? (2000 LW2 Wag)
 
I've been looking for either lowering springs or coilovers but alas I cannot find any. At this point I am considering cutting springs although I'd like to see if there are any other options before I jump to that.
I am fine with sacrificing ride quality (used to have a pontiac solstice, got used to it) although the more comfortable the better. Thank you all and I know that this is a strange thing to want to do to a wagon, although it's something I've always wanted to do to this thing.

The back can come down one coil easily. Cut the bump stop in half and put adjustable lower arms on it so you can align it. Not much you can do to the front since they hit the stops already. I thought about trying Ion struts since they are shorter but never got there. I only lowered the rear of my L200/5 and I actually put v6 springs in the front to keep it off the bump stops. Very happy with the look and the ride. A set of 16” Saab 9-3 wheels make the look for me.

Hm alright. I may throw some large wheels on it and see how it looks, my suspension is pretty collapsed anyways so it sits pretty low already. Was considering trying out Pontiac Solstice stock 18s, although I think I'm gonna go aftermarket...
