Lowering Springs or Shocks?

[Mtinoco9]

Quick question about ways to lower my car. I've heard about lowering springs and they seem pretty promising but, is there any other way to do it. I know about cutting the springs but, I definetly don't wanna go that route. I also understand that if I do get springs that I have to buy new shocks. I don't wanna sound dumb but, hey never hurts to ask.
