Default Lose performance?

So I've been reading a little about lowering the s and the effects. From what i get you actually lose handling when you lower your car, say about .75 inches? Something about throwing off the balance. For people that lowered their car is this true? what if i got the comptech camber kit would this help?

Lowering the car about 1.25 inches makes it still feel like stock. As for the handling, there isn't really any difference.

Ask VTECxTurbo who has lowered his car, and taken it to various track events -- he seems to be getting the best times, although we (Team Irvine) can't figure out whether it's because a) his car is a ringer, b) his car is lowered, or c) he is a very very skilled driver. Probably a combo of b & c, though!
