I live in Northern Ohio and feel your pain...but i am dropped 2.25" with H&R springs and have Tokico adjustables. It is really not that bad....Have you ever noticed how lowered cars are always swerving? It is not 'cause we are high or drunk. We are dodging bumps. I seem to take the same roads all of the time (I know which are bad and which aren't).
If you decide on a (fake) coil-over system (real meaning spring/shock combo) go with Skunk2...I have seen nothing but good reveiws for them.
