H&R springs have a 1.5" drop front and rear. If you go lower, prepare to scrape or don't drive it on the street. On the other hand, race setups go down to 2.5" or more. If you can afford 20" wheels, you can afford race springs and even they will ride better than cut springs. Check out all the race springs before you rush to judgement.

However please keep in mind that race cars not only do not use springs alone, in most cases, but coilovers. Also, when they have cars lowered to the ground they are normally not using the stock suspension geometry either.

Thats pretty much the way it is, one action leads to another, and not always what you want to happen does. Caveat Emptor--"LET THE BUYER BEWARE."
