Ha! I love when people come out of the woodworks like that. Been in this game a long time!

I no doubt would buy quality springs & I'm strongly considering lowering my car but my question is what are the chances of doing damage underneath the car if it bottoms out. I'm here on the east coast where we have a lot of pot holes & just bad roads in general, & how harsh is the ride

[@Heeltoe.]

Great question! Honestly, with reasonable lowering (1-2" drop) the odds of damaging something is really rather low. There is more clearance under there than you think. Now, lowering the car more on stock dampers does carry risk, which over rough roads that work the suspension more it can bottom out the dampers more and cause extra wear and tear meaning needing new shocks prematurely. Many folks are after lower and lower and lower heights, but once you get past an inch or so you really need to consider coilovers in stead of just springs.
