So for some reason it wont let me post in the suspension forum, and i have no idea why...but here goes my question.

I was reading around and saw a couple posts saying that if you lower our cars that it doesn't improve handling performance and that it actually makes it worse. Now why is this? The stock springrate is 146 lb/in fronts and 140 lb/in rears and that the tein kit raises the springrate to 210 lb/in fronts and 180 lb/in rears. Now how can that make our cars handle worse? The tein S tech are also designed to run on stock shocks, according to their website.

AND

The 1G talon, laser, and eclipse AWD all have that same suspension..... correct?
 
If you lower the car TOO much then it hurts it, the center of gravity is just way too low at that point and it handles like balls. You can't post in the suspension forums because you dont have a high enough post count., and yes all the suspensions for the 1G AWD are pretty much the same, for the exception of the 90's I believe.

Im not looking to "Slam" My car by any meens, but a nice 1" drop wouldn't be bad. SO can i order a set of tein S tech springs for an eclipse GSX 1G and have them installed on my beast?
