Lowering vehicle by compressing coil springs

[00SOLARASE]

Hi Guys, I am looking to lower my 2000 Solara by about an inch or two but my springs and struts are in great shape so I would rather not replace them. So I was hoping to use the compression brackets (or make my own) that you can get at Napa,etc. to bring the springs down a bit by compressing a coil or two on each spring. My question is does anyone know by doing this how much it will affect the ride quality? Like I said I am not looking to go too crazy just bring the car down an inch or so, there is just too much of a gap between the wheel wells and tires. I just put a set of new 17" rims on the car and it is even more noticable now. Thanks a lot for any advice you can give me on this!

Don't cheap out! You have a nice expensive car. Pay a few hundred dollars, get some decent springs (Eibach, etc), install them and get the suspension aligned.
