Tein springs are soft. You might want to change to a higher rate springs

If 'drops hard' means it rides harshly compared to stock, that's going to be normal with pretty much any aftermarket lowering springs. It's a matter of how much, but they're all going to have a higher spring rate than stock. Running larger wheels means a shorter tire sidewall, too. Smaller wheels with more rubber tend to have more of a soft ride- I run 16" summer wheels/tires and I definitely notice the difference when I put the 15" winters on. Much softer.

If you mean the suspension bottoms out, like you're hitting the bump stops all the time, you might have defective shocks.
