You will need to replace parts.

I am not too familiar with PASM, but if your car has PASM, it may impact the type of replacements you can choose from.

Ideally, remember that Springs AND shocks work as a system. While you can certainly go with just "lowering" springs, I would encourage you to do it "right" and get matched shocks. Why tear the car apart twice, afterall.

Eibach and H&R are popular brands/products.

Bilstein makes a well regarded PSS9 kit that replaces shocks and springs with stiffer, lower and adjustable components. JIC and Cross are some other brands to look into.
