Is this possible and, if so, is it recommended?

It's possible to compress springs with clamps.
It's also possible to heat the coil springs up until they come close to each other.
It's also possible to cut one coil off.
but NONE of these are recommended.
What's recommended? Buying a set of lowering springs that's made for your car.
You can buy them new or look in the [For Sale] section for used ones.
In fact, there's a member right now selling a set of used lowering springs.
