Do it. Should handle slightly better and look much better. If you have the funds you should get a matching spring and shock package.

As mentioned if you can push to it get a full matched set of springs and shocks and reap the handling improvements.

Not true. Playing with the suspension geometry for cosmetic reasons is going to have a bad effect on the performance. Read DPJ quoting **** Shine in this thread, about halfway down.

If you want to do it for the sake of appearance, go ahead. But it will handle worse.

How low and what size wheels can you have before you start to have problems? Just i am looking to go lower than 30mm on mine but i don't want to have loads of issues with having maybe 17" wheels on
