depending on how low the springs are you may need to invest in lowered shocks as well
i just bought a set of king low king springs for $150 (fronts) and they're ment to lower the car about 30mm. on my stock shocks they're still slightly lose, so it means if i go over some big bumps there's a chance the springs can come lose and not sit properly
something you might need to look into depending on how low you go.
also scraping. can dent bent and scrap going lower as well. so you have to take it easy over speed bumps and up some drive ways

ive just installed some king spring lows all around.
They are a nice snug fit front and back, there not flopping around like cut springs haha.
Now when you install the springs, your bushes are going to be in there non relaxed position, so what you will want to do is loosen the arm bolts so that the bushes are slack, get load on the wheels, aka like it will naturally sit on the road, then tighten the bushes back up.
This will mean that the bushes wont be stressed while sitting or driving and will last alot longer and not tear.
And yes scraping is a issue, i can manage to get over most speed bumps, but theres a few that scrape my exhaust
