Agreed! 1 inch drop should be about enough.

What else would you suggest to do to the car?
What products do you or can you get?
Thanks! Adrian

Did you do shocks as well, or just the springs? The H&R's usually provide a decent ride but many times the stock shocks don't function as well with the lowered ride height.

Coilovers are definitely the way to go.

I did springs only.I'll drive it like this for awhile and than i think i'll get some coilovers.
Quick question: 255/30/20 tires that i put on...how many psi's should i run...the car kind of trails...does not run tight at all!!! Tires are Falkens FK-452 and i run them at 38psi....maybe i should go 40 or 42 or more?
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I would suggest running 40psi. That might help the car track a little straighter.

Also, another important thing would be alignment. Did you have the car aligned after the springs were installed. Typically, I would wait a few days after lowering the car to allow the springs to settle, then an alignment is a must. That could also be the cause of the issue you described. If you haven't had it aligned, let me know. We can take care of it for you.
