Correct me if I'm wrong please
Well you cant just simply say "its better because its lower" due to all those things. Slapping lowering springs on with stock everything-else may, in the end, prove to be an unwise modification. Car may sway too much and cause rubbing issues w/ stock sways. Stock shocks may not be able to dampen enough and you may bottom out. May cause camber issues.

Lowering a car may be fine, as long as everything else is working in harmony, suspension wise. Ive seen so many people slap some springs on and wonder why it rides worse, or their shocks blew out. Granted, we're already FAIRLY low as it is so I doubt that'll happen, but I still wouldn't throw on "just springs" and expect everything to be kosher...
