I'll guaranty you'll do this once only in your lifetime. Short lowering springs always have higher spring rates per inch of travel. Companies who sell these kits are careful not to tell you the consumer what the increased rates are. Your car will ride like a brick on a flat rock. Without upgraded struts and a beefy strut tower brace the body twists and soaks up the increased rate in corners. These kits necessitate aftermarket camber plates to (try to align it again).
If you are truly int rested in making your car actually handle better your money is more well spent with a new increased diameter anti-roll bar kit. Straight line suspension will not be effected. When you enter a corner the body will resist rolling up on it's self.
