Hey dom first and foremost nice drop.
What are you testing anyway? Are you testing for looks? if that's the case why are you taking it to a track if you know your handling will probaly have degraded since you dropped?
Just a little

I just wanna see how it performs. I already miss the stock suspension. Hopefully the koni's will help a little but if not then for this set up

Do not run them at near full stiff on the street (probably closer to full soft). Also, consider running them at around 1/2 stiff for the track since Summit point main is so bumpy.
Stiff does not always = fast. You want yoyr tires loaded and in touch with the pavement at all times.

I think that a bigger effect on the handling would be a new front sway bar, X brace, front strut bar and rear tie bar.
Lowering the car will bring down the center of gravity but the chassis still isnt stiff. You want the chassis to be braced so that the suspension is doing all of the work.
If that doesnt work, just take a round of wedge out of the left rear and add 1 lb of air to the right front.
