usually, when you lower your car, its either more bumpy or more stiff.. i dont know what springs give you what to a certain extent, but a real bumpy ride can be normal depending on the springs you purchase.

Any time you lower your car, you reduce the amount of suspension travel. And if the springs are made properly and won't destroy your shocks, they are stiffer too. That makes for a bumpier ride. But now your car looks cooler and handles much better, right?

I wouldn't trust these springs personally. Usually in the run of things with the aftermarket, you get what you pay for. There is a reason why Eibach, Progress, and Tein all charge in the range of $140-$220 for their springs depending on where you get them from. I found a set of Tein S-Tech on www.groupbuycenter.com for $145 shipped to your door, which to me is a really good buy on springs that usually run $175 + shipping.

Another thing to consider is the amount lowered. I know with the aforementioned springs, the drop is not significant enough to blow your shocks in an extremely short period of time. These drop zones look like they will surpass that and you'll blow your shocks pretty quickly, and if you don't have an ES, there's no cheap replacement.
