Stock FD w/ lowered springs

What if you take a stock FD and just lower it two inches. Would it handle better than stock just because it's lower?

Depending on your wheel setup and offset, lowering it 2 inches will more than likely have the wheel slamming into the fender or wheel liner thingy above the wheel. IF you get any springs get a linear rate spring, much better feel and control. Those progressive spring rates allow the car to roll to much at first turn it and can make the car feel uneasy. Less confidence in the car when you feel the car roll, s curves really make the car pitch and not feel good. Not to mention, 2 inches means you'll more than likely be hitting the bump stops, not good for the shocks, or the car in general. HItting the bump stop in a turn is also a scary idea.

When you hit the bump stops....you can really feel it. That **** sucks and especially in a turn.
