Sure...just replace the new springs with the original ones that were
intended for the car.

When you install stiffer springs, you need to install stiffer dampers
(shocks or struts) to match. If you are using the original shocks or
struts, this is a common cause of this problem.

In fact, I've heard that the way to go for handling and a good ride is
stiff shocks, stiff anti-roll bars, and soft springs. But most people
don't want that; they just want the lowered look.
