Would chaning springs help ride Quality?

I've got sprint lowering springs. Putting me at about 2" drop. Now my ride is very harsh. Would I be better off replcaing shocks or gettin better quality springs. Would it make a difference? Hope this isn't repeat.

thanks

Shocks control the quality of the ride much more than springs do.

detroittosag has a little shameless behaviour in the past
well i don't know about the struts but i had sprint springs on my '97 grand am. and it was about the same drop of 2 inches.. i don't know if they do but i know when i bought my springs i could have bought the struts to match them. anyway yea thoes are some very stiff springs but it made the drop look real good. so get new struts and if it's still to harsh of a ride change the spring rate, get different springs.
