Default Does lowering the car really kill the suspension????
Just curious to why. Car is full susp. minus pan-hard bar making 900rwhp. Getting ready to set-up susp for the first time out this year and wanting to get it right. Let me know any pointers

It doesn't at all as long as you correct your suspension for the lower ride height.

I have cars with our BMR lowering spring that cut low to mid 1.3s 60 ft times. As long as everything set up right you can use lowering springs in your set up.
