Cheapest way to lower 2-3cm?

Hi, im on stock springs, and I would like to very slightly lower my car (i scrape enough the way it is, so not looking for a significant drop).

the springs (h&r, blistiens etc) seem to drop 4cm+, and im not too keen on spending 2k+labour on coils (if there is no other options, ill probably opt for this next year).

i love the look of m-performance suspension upgrade, but again, a little out of my price range. are there any springs or shocks (?, i really lack knowledge in this area) that lowers the car 2cm for a couple hundred bucks?

Thanks guys!

h&R springs - $250 + alignment $80.

or maybe you can try just getting the performance springs if you can order them separately

h&r is just too low for my daily driving.

do the performance springs fit on my standard suspensions? anyone tried this before?

What makes you say it's too low?

I have been going through NYC, and even had three passengers in the back, no scrapes, no rubbing. The Super Sports are a bit too low, the Sports not really an issue.
