Any ideas?

But then you would more than likely have to change at least the droplinks and the top mount bearings while you were there and then factor in the cost of getting the torsion bar done if you can't do so yourself. In not so many words there isn't really a cheap way without cutting corners which could cost you more in the long run. Save up and do the job properly first time would be my suggestion.

Tho cutting the springs will make it free (I joke, never cut you springs )

None of that is true.

It's only a luxury!

Agreed, sounds like someone has been feeding you bulls**t, if anything it's the exact opposite of what you just said.
As for cheap lowering you can get used springs for £20-£30 and then just the labour or do it yourself. Can't get much cheaper really.
