lowering the car worth it?

Get rid of the wheel gap. Lower springs also equal better handling.

I wasnt going to at first but after changing the rims out my wheel gap is a bit more then I can bear. I'm putting coilovers on and taking it down an inch or so.

Lowered cars are kind of a pain in the a#$ for driveways and such but you'll definitely pick up some corner speed. To me..thats more important then HP any day of the week!

From what I know a lower center of mass always equals greater handling due to:

1) Lower center of mass
2) Less air going under the car = improved aerodynamics at high speed

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...
