Question Lowering my 89 Dodge Colt 4WD wagon. Need help!

I am trying to lower my 89 Dodge Colt AWD Wagon and can't seem to find any aftermarket parts at all for it.
I came across these. Anyone used them before, or any inputs?

http://www.jcwhitney.com/COIL_SPRING...;0;0;2005845;0



I'm thinking they are universal and should work. By compressing the spring though. Would make it one stiff ride.
Thinking it would be better than cutting the stock springs though. Since finding stock springs for cheap is hard enough. I guess you could say it's quite adjustable too.
Upping the spring rate while lowering the vehicle?

I know this isn't the best way by far. If anyone has any suggestions or input, please help.

Otherwise I may end up cutting a couple coils off the springs. Ghetto too.

One way is cut the rear springs and put cheap coilovers or springs from a CSM or 1G AWD DSM up front. Assuming it fits.

Thanks.

Interesting. But if I were to cut the springs anyways. I don't see why I shouldn't just cut the OEM springs that are in there right now.

Anyone have a set of OEM 1G DSM springs I can borrow or keep?
I will be doing the clutch on it soon and will do everything as one process.
