yes it will ride like ****. lowering springs are usually stiffer to compensate for the travel the stock springs have. If you don't match up a set of stiff struts your car will feel very bouncy, springy like, and your handling will be very awkward.

I picked up a set of KYB Climb Gear shocks and Some tanabe springs, but tokico blues and racing beat springs are a often choice and eibach springs arent to hard to find aswell You dont necessarily have to go with a full combo, but its always better
