its when the car is so low, that the steering geometry is different. As the tire moves upward after hitting a bump, the steering linkage to knuckle geometry changes causing toe out. The lower the car, the problem is more pronounced. My car has it pretty bad, and there's a place on the 5 freeway near camp pendelton where my car will actually change lanes without the steering wheel moving at all.

Do you want it to handle better or worse than stock or are you in it for looks only? If you want better handling and a modest drop Pedders springs all the way.

only springs providing slightly better handling on the tc with stock struts are pedders. any other spring makes the handeling worse then stock. if you want the lowest drop and best handling go with coilovers or konis and h and r springs. regardless you will need rack spacers when your and the drop of an h and r spring or lower.
