$200 bucks. New springs. Install them yourself with a manual.
This is the safest and cheapest way to do it dude. Don't chop or clamp I say.... I have done it twice to my car

You're brave admitting to cutting/clamping springs  But yeah, buy some springs and put them in... And if you can't manage this, a lot of places dont charge that much to put them in anyways

are you sure one inch will be enough?
photochop your car with a few diferent options, but i think king lows would lower your car about that much.
if you install them yourself, get a wheel alignment done as soon as you do the work, or else it will handle like shit and your tyres will wear out really really fast.
