A little too much bling for my taste.
Did you use Kings springs to lower it?

i think NOJOOC would be the best person to answer that question.... he has the same setup (19" + 1" lowered.... or maybe 1.5" lowered ), but different brand of springs... maybe tyres :p

Kings springs are probably one of the best locally made springs available.
In the past, I've used the following springs on my previous cars:

Lovells (Civic) - Stiff, reasonably comfortable, sags way too quickly
Jumboz Civic) - Crap, limp wristed handling, too soft
Kings (200SX) - Perfect, best combo of ride and comfort
Kmac (Type R) - Bone jarringly stiff, excellent handling, no comfort
Kings (Type R) - same as 200SX
H&R (Rx8) - Perfect combo of ride and comfort
