If you want to lower it on the cheap then take the rubber isolater off the top of the spring and put heater hose around the first coil

Yeah, don't go out and get a softer spring for the purpose of lowering your car. If you're looking for weight transfer at the dragstrip, that's one thing, but expect handling to get weird having a 20% softer spring in the back.
Like mentioned above, for lowering the rear to level the car out, remove the isolator from the top of the spring and slip heater hose over the spring.
