Default Koni on Lower perch affect on handling and ride?

How would lowering my konis to the lower perch affect ride and handling? Car also has strano springs, sways and watts.

Do NOT use the lower perch with lowering springs. Sam will tell you this.

I don't recommend the lower perch in conjunction with lowering springs. Can't stop you if you want to do it, but you are left with very little working travel. As such the ride will firm up a good deal. It's a free country, the only time I'm ok with it is on cars that sit high in the front (say had a good bit of weight removed).

looks like i'm going to be staying at the way it is. I'm not trying to sacrifice ride and handling.
