What springs did you use to lower it? What shocks are you running? Also, what tire size?

2" is pretty low. Could be that either your springs are too stiff or you need better shocks. If you are running low profile tires this will make the ride stiffer.

just installing springs without changing to shocks/struts that can handle the spring rate and lower ride height without hitting the bump stops will make the car ride like SHIT.
