"CONFIRM!!!"

Mine is lowered on one of the popular brand of spring here and everything is mess up since. The only good thing is the look, IMO, but other than that like most people (especially those who track) will tell you, you can't do better than stock without spending more than 2k.

I did alignment 4 times in the past 3,000 miles, and still doesn't feel right. it is, by far, the most regretful thing I've ever done to my car. Don't do it, bud'.., you've been warned!

I believe you. We found that anything over 1" will actually make the car handle worse.

I bought cheap springs simply for the looks. That lasted about 6 months before I replaced em with a good coilover system. But i have had no regrets either way.

I'm lowered on H&R's with 18" wheels and everything seems OK to me.
