Yeah, I know... are you gotta cut the springs too?
I had no idea...
As far as getting lowering springs i would only do it when my struts wear out that way i can upgrade those to a higher load rating and put the springs it at the same time. Im looking to do the same when i need new rotors....new ones will be the slotted with axxis or hawk pads.

No ive heard horror stories from cutting springs. I dont know anything about doing it but ive seen cars bouncing around town and just look like shit. i asked my friend why the hell they are doing that he said "the idiots cut their springs"

Axxis tend to "eat up" rotors - search for some threads, people have complained. EBC seems to be a better deal. And I've had Nerwyll price out some Stoptech rotors for me - pretty good prices, actually. Good luck 
I was asking out of some selfish concern - been kinda toying with the idea of dropping mine... guess that's another question for Bruce right there...
