There are two ways to lower your car:
Lowering Springs, which are installed in place of your springs on your stock shocks/struts.
or
Full coilovers which replace the whole shock/strut unit. Coilovers are best but more expensive. You can adjust stiffness and ride height with coilovers.

As far as handling goes, when the center of gravity is lowered in concept it should improve handling. Usually when using lowering springs, the spring rates are higher thus reducing body roll and improving handling.
But suspension geometry can be thrown off, and effecting handling adversely. If done right lowering your car will improve handling, but just depends on what your going for.
Different driving situations will correspond with different suspension choices.
If you are going to be auto-crossing and performance is an issue then coilovers would be ideal. If you just want the lowered look springs may suffice but remember ride quality will suffer either way.

The mechanic can't just lower it by you bringing your car in and him adjusting something. You have to first buy either springs, that are shorter that the stock springs, or coil overs. Springs only come in a set height, so you buy it say, 1 inch shorter, then you have a set height of 1 inch shorter. You can use the stock shocks or aftermarket shocks. For coil overs, they are height adjustable, meaning you can change the height to any height you want usually. Those are more expensive. They also come with shocks.
I realize that everyone starts somewhere, but it would also help if you researched more before just posting generalized questions away that can be answer simply through a bit of searching on google or the forums.

I don't get it. Why does everyone reply/answer his questions? If no one replied with any useful information, he'd be forced to learn how to use the search button. If you keep answering all his questions, there's NO REASON for him to use the search button. He can just sift through all the random comments to get the useful information he desires. Stop replying with anything useful and he'll learn very quickly.

You could also cut your stock springs as I did to my accord (sold) though I would rather buy some springs. I never had any problems nor did I lose the smooth ride. As long as you don't get your car slammed. You could try the cheap ones from ebay, they would work nicely. If all you want is to lower your car?
