AFAIK, front ride height is dependant on your spring length and rate. The procedure for lowering the rear is in the Tech Section.

It is. Otherwise - search on Paragon Products or the like for "coil-over kit"

or you could just let the air out of your tires, that will get you closer to the ground.

So, the key is to let the air out of the tires as they are driving down the road. Then, you can get the air out evenly!

Nah, you need metric air in the tires, that's what the factory used.

All you need is a gas torch and two blocks of wood that give your car the required ground clearance.
Put the blocks of wood under the lower arms, heat the springs with the gas torch and when the car sags down onto the blocks of wood you’ve lowered your car. Just be careful you don’t set fire to your tires while doing this.
