2 foot lowering springs? damn. lol jk. No just make sure when you get the alignment to get the toe angle set to zero. This will keep the tires from wearing quickly. The natural camber gain is usually acceptable for street driving and aids in cornering grip. If you dont have performance shocks consider picking up some such as Koni Yellow. The factory shocks arent designed for a lower height than stock, and will eventually start to fail and the car will bounce a lot if it isnt doing so already. Then mount up some sticky tires, and rear sway bar and go have fun.
