I mean, I can understand the desire for the "slammed" look, but, it's a sports-car, not a pimp-mobile.

Lowering the car lowers the center of gravity which improves handling. If your roads are not screwed up like ours here in texas, it can be a nice handling and styling boost to lower your Z. For me I only have 3/4" clearance at stock ride height getting out of my own driveway, so the best I can do is get coilovers and drop it a tiny bit.

Yeah, but you can't really lower the car without changing a number of aspects of how it handles (in a bad way) - IMO, leave it stock... It already handles better than 99% of cars on the road...what more do you need?

A well designed coilover system will not change handling in a bad way at all. Assuming you get the appropriate adjustable suspension pieces that are recommended for lowering (camber and toe mainly) and align and corner-balance the car you will be amazed at how much better the car is at handling everything from normal daily driving to track.

The car does handle incredibly well from the factory, but that doesn't mean it can't be improved.
