HELP - I want to lower my ride!

2004 Boxster S - About to have 19's put on.

What's the best bang for buck to lower her a bit without changing the ride too much. Can you simply have the springs cut/modified?
I am happy with the handling for a daily driver.

Any techno education on this topic will be much appreciated.

He asked for bang for the buck, which is springs, installed and aligned, $750. If you want to spend $2000 + install and alignment for the coilovers, have at it. For the street the springs are fine.

For the love of God/Allah/whatever PLEASE don't cut/modify your springs. It's a Porsche not a CRX.
