Suspension performance after lowering?
So, I really want to lower my car just a little like 1-1.5inches. however I'm hesitant because my car handles REALLY good right now I take it 85-90 around some pretty sharp corners and it just hugs and goes. I'm afraid that I wont have this kind of handling if I lower it and that would make me sad!
Maybe someone here has lowered their car and can shed some light on this about the handling before and after? I was thinking a good brand of springs were used maybe it would handle good. just don't know.

Yea I'd much like to know as well, I bought the car used about 2 years ago. I haven't looked at it much. I used to work on my cars all the time but that's when I drove Honda's and such. I grew up and got the lex she never needs any work
There is a pretty big gap between the wheel and the fender so I'm pretty sure they are stock. Here is a pic I have handy of when I plastidipped the rims. Oh and the tires are pretty wide. I had a 2014 is250 rental last week and the tires were a lot narrower and it didn't handle as good.

Lowering the car is only going to make it handle better. I would suggest coilovers, because you have more control over the exact stiffness and height you like. And if you are really serious about cornering, a stiffer sway bar in the front on a RWD car will do wonders. Reducing that body roll will make it feel like a little go-kart around those corners.
