Lower your car to any height?!?!

I've seen a few adverts lately from suspension places offering to "lower your car to any height" for a fixed cost.
Any ideas on how they acheive this? Some of the possibilities I have considered include:
- Having an infinite variety of different height springs
- Chopping standard springs to the required height
- Allowing you to select the height from limited options (eg. low and superlow)
I know I could just ring one of these places and ask, but what would be the fun in that?

They either a) have them custom made to the height you want or b) reset their height.
a) is better in that you can get the spring rate you want to properly suit the car and the new height.
b) is better in that it's cheaper, but may result in softer suspension due to the reduced spring rate.

There are even fat cousins that you can put in the car. You then select the required height based on cheeseburger intake.
...did I just say that?
