Anything to do to lower tiny bit?

I might be getting some new wheels, 19" and so i was wondering...im not that familiar with suspensions...is there anything that can be done to just slightly lower the car? maybe anywhere from 5mm-15mm? obviously i'm asking about lowering it WITHOUT getting lowering springs, etc. Just wondering if there is something that can be adjusted or played with or some cheap add-on that can lower the car a tiny bit for looks. And i know someone will reply with "ghetto cuttin it" and i'm not cutting my springs so thats out of the Q also. any input? thanks

The only two options I know of are lowering springs and coil overs.

The coil over option will allow you to adjust it exactly where you want within a range. Mine allow for half an inch to four inches.
I am at 2 inches lower than stock and there are Boxsters on this forum that are lower than mine.
BTW I have 19s also.

Growing up the car magazines said how amazing Porsches are. Was I brainwashed? Somehow...I doubt it.

You can always go with the ROW 030 springs, it will lower your car at the most 1/2" but still have a very nice ride. I lowered mine with Eibach springs and that was just a little over 1"- 1.25" ride is okay. I would imagine anything more would severely reduce ride comfort.
