Take the rear springs out and cut 1/4 of a coil off with a hacksaw. If that is not low enough (after bouncing the car and going for a drive), take them out again and chop another 1/4 of a coil off. If you find yourself taking a full coil off, then maybe thats ok, just. If you think you want more than a coil cut off, then don't do it. Just buy lowering springs. Your standard shocks should be ok if they are new enough, for just a right height adjustment.

If you want your car more like a sports car, ready for hard driving, you want stiffer springs also. The standard shocks will still be ok for this as well, to some extent as long as they are new (not the old original ones). The best setup is stiffer springs, with up rated shocks to match the springs.
