    and big speed bumps and curbed driveways will be oh so fun with a 2.5" drop, especially if you have lt's.

            The key to good ride quality is not just in the springs; it's in matching the right dampers with the springs as well. For most drop springs that are only moderately stiffer than stock, Bilsteins will give you best ride. They're not cheap but they are great quality and perform well.
            Personally I wouldn't bother with a bumpsteer kit if you're just trying to keep it simple and not worried about maximum performance. First of all, to confirm whether you actually have a bumpsteer problem you have to measure the bumpsteer. Secondly, most shops don't even know how to properly set up a car with a bumpsteer kit so it may or may not help. If your tie rods are at a much different angle than your control arms, then you could use offset rack bushings to help without the expense or complication of a bumpsteer kit. There is a lot involved with bumpsteer but a good rule of thumb is that if your tie rods are roughly parallel to your control arms then it should be fairly minimal.
            As far as aftermarket springs, I only have experience with H&R and was please with them. Aside from that, I run MM coilovers on my '00. Coilovers inherently ride better than conventional springs given equal wheel rates but they do cost a lot more.

              All good points.. I forgot to mention that I had the offset steering rack bushings as well. I was doing autocross at the time and loved the handling.

                  honestly, even though i have low pro 35' series tires. rides just little stiffer then
                  stock, like someone has already said. it's all about shocks & struts.

                    I would only drop it 1.5. I've saw a lot of Sn's that look pretty rough underneath b/c of going to low.
