Lowering 03 disco

I'm trying to lower my discovery without heating the springs, so don't suggest it, got any idea???

An old school way of lowering any coil sprung vehicle is by cutting a coil off the spring.  I have seen many a professional built hot rod that sat too high slammed in the weeds by this method.  I am not too sure about this on a 4x4.

Instead of bashing, why dont you give some insight on how you would lower it all knowing one.

from what I've gathered in my short-short time of owning a rover is...Rovers have a RABID off-road following.  Most Rover fanatics do not appreciate someone taking a Rover and undermining the off-road capabilities by dropping it or putting big rims with low profile tires on it.
 
On the flipside, I can understand that some people like this look...and if you're never going to go offroading, throwing on bigger rims with smaller sidewall tires is going to make the thing handle better on the streets.  I can also sympathize to a certain extent when it comes to dropping a Rover down.  You don't really need the clearance on the streets and climbing in and out of a Rover would be easier if it was sitting lower.
 
The bad news here is that I don't see any manufacturers that specialize in dropping vehicles who have kits for the Rovers.  In other words, the Rover community has spoken and there is no money for these companies to make drop-kits.  This leaves you with a few options if you have your heart set on trying to drop the rover. 
 
-Either do it yourself without outside assistance.  OR
-Find a shop that specializes in drops and have them put together a custom package for you. 

The second option is really your best bet because if you start screwing with the suspension and you don't know what you are doing, you have a good chance of screwing up your rig...or worse, creating a vehicle that doesn't handle very well at all which increases your risk of crashing and killing someone.
 
You want to find someone who knows and understands how the suspensions work, why things are triangulated at whatever angles and how they can modify the system and still keep the vehicle driveable and handling well.  Expect to pay some hard CASH for this

If I was into this stuff, I would most likely leave the suspension alone cause I feel it is low enough as it is, and get 20-22 inch rims with wide low profile tires.
