I saw some "lowering Springs" on ebay for $100. They were just normal springs that were cut. Otherwise IPD or MVP. MVP sells really nice coilovers that you can adjust the height. They are about $600 for a set.

Jon,

try www.ipdusa.com. They have a set of springs that runs $200 and lowers car approximately 1 - 1.5". If you haven't undertaken any other suspension mods, it would be more beneficial to get larger sway bars first, then new shocks & strut inserts. Depends on time and money how many you want to tackle at the same time.

Just completed a front suspension rebuild on our 240... all bushings, inner/outer tie rod ends, ball joints, upper strut mounts, strut inserts. Also added sport springs that lowered the car 2”.
Had the alignment done and noticed that the alignment changes (toe out ) when the front end is raised with a floor jack.
Is this normal/acceptable?
Is this something that the alignment shop can fix or ?
