Have you tried ordering shorter springs?

Cheaper than new coil overs.

Call AP or GAZ! They'll tell you specifications! Pumas are hard to drop coz of there arches. I personally would fit bigger alloys to fill the arches out. I've thought bout it myself! Or if you have the money go air ride! Or even mod the standard struts, but I wouldn't! Too risky!
