Default About to lower car: springs + shocks? or just springs

I've done most of the other basics I wanted to do, exhaust, wheels/tires, appearance etc. Now I want to drop the car two inches, question I have is that can you only put lowering springs on a car and not have any detrimental effects or do you pretty much have to much stronger shocks every time you lower it.

I'm planning on getting the H&R Super Sport Set. Btw, this set includes the springs for all four corners right? http://www.americanmuscle.com/hr-sup...ings-2005.html

If I get shocks I would probably get these.

I would go with the shocks and springs and they are a great combo IMO. Yes you do get all four springs when you buy those. Also if you just go with the springs all around you will need to make sure that the pinion angle is right and that the camber is right in the front as well. Since you want to go with a 2 inch drop I would recommend you make sure someone is skilled in the install with regards to getting everything lined up right in the front and rear. That drop will change how the car sits and lining everything up is crucial!
