The problem is that with a lowered car, the camber is set at a point in the suspension travel that is typically reserved for a “compressed” state. This leads to rapid and noticeable change in kenimatics when compressed further. This keads many people to over “spring” the car to prevent further geometric progression and loss of grip. This car is NOT designed to be lowered to this degree. I’m thinking of raising the ride height, installing spacers (or even the WiseFab kit). To change the kinematics to favor a bit of squat and body roll.
