PLEASE LIST PROS & CONS. I really want to sit a little bit lower and become flush. Its my DD and everyone says not to do it because I will totally lose the ride comfort. Are springs THAT bad?
I went with Swifts and personally I find the comfort equal to factory springs. The car is definitely firmer when you push it through the corners but overall comfort remained the same. You just have to be mindful of speedbumps/dips/potholes.

Pros:
- Firmer handling
- Car is more neutral, some of the understeer is gone)
- Retains factory comfort
- Looks

Cons:
- Have to be more mindful of dips/potholes etc. on the road (especially with F.I. CBE)
