What is the easiest way to lower the car a few centimeters?

+1 for Superformance springs. Just installed a set about a year ago on a friend's car. They set the height absolutely perfect looking, and are a bit stiffer.

 

Well, my setup is all stock, but for the springs, so I figure it's attributable to them. Just a heads-up, and this likely applies to replacing shocks - as opposed to springs only - but it did take the car a few drives to "settle" down when I installed the new suspension bits. The gap started out about an inch bigger upon install, so don't be alarmed if you observe this.

But for $400 and some labor (be CAREFUL if you're going to do your own work, lest a spring blow off in your face), it seems the "easiest" way to lower the car a few cm.

 

Buy a set of 'run flat tires'.

 

Can you use the stock Koni's with the Superformance springs?

 

I couldn't get a definitive answer to this question but at £65 + Delivery + VAT (at 20%) for each spring it's an expensive guessing game.
You can get fully adjustable set ups for around £500 and they include the springs!

But if you are hell bent on keeping with the original Konis, at about one third of the price I would be tempted to work out the spec myself and source the springs from here (or the equivalent supplier in your country):

Take air out of the tires.

 

YES. The pics you see of my car are stock Konis with Superformance springs.

Here's the proof. Had to dig these up from my restoration archive. Fresh OEM-spec Konis with Superformance springs. The ride is fantastic!

I changed the spring perches on the front end which lowered the front still using the original shocks. With 16" wheels the car looks perfect.

 

Thanks for the information everyone.

 

I really (really) despise that "slammed" look that's so trendy these days. But I agree - your car's gap is perfectly proportioned to the tire, rim, and curve of the well. Nicely done!
