^that's probably your answer right there.
cut lower springs.

on a side note anyways, your geometry of the car is now different, so the suspension components can't react to help you turn back anymore.

the difference between an actual lowering springs are the coils are coiled up alot more but you still have the same distance, its just the springs dont' compress as much to give you that lower stance, however it also gives you that bouncyness, hence the reason for shock absorbers to help absorb most of hte nasty bumps.

with a car like that, i'm surprised you choose to cut corners this way.

Yup^^^ you probably wore out some bushings or ball joints. Shit man, that might of screwed up your steering end links. That's probably why yo car pulls to one side, from the steering links getting pulled outta whack

What do ya mean slack in your spring? What type of shocks you workin with, cuz if you can push the the chrome rod, piston thing down by hand then there garbage. Trash'em and get a new pair. That would help. And pick up some coilovers off craigslist or somewhere and then you can lower from there. Jus remember with how low you seem to want it your definetely gonna want a frt camber kit and alignment. Also the size of rims you roll play a big spot on the way your car handles.

get an alignment.

They'll tell you what you need replaced.

Get adjustable components (ball joints and such) to get your alignment back where it needs to be.

coilovers are two much i cant afford them, but how much do you think it will be to get an alignment and adjustable ball joints and bushings?
