"dropzone" brand springs

Just wondering if anyone had this particular brand of spring under thier matrix. I wanted to know the ride quality and whether the car bottoms out after being loaded down. It bottoms out now on bigger dips and bumps but I am really wanting to lower it but not sure if it will bottom out a lot more. Please respond...I need advice. Thanks in advance.

I got these...ride quality, more bumpier on dips/bumps, but very nice when going fast on smooth roads, excellent control w/ the 2" drop in center of gravity...what does bottoming out mean?...

Because slipknot490 plans to use the stock shocks, the lowered spring may make the shocks compress too much, or cause it to hit the bump stops.
