i took mine offroading before it was lowered and after.. with it lowered, it just cant getup as many rock climbs anymore.... although, it got stuck in the mud also when it was lowered (literally, it actually did. lol)

lowering the car, lowers the center of gravity and thus helping your cornering. if the spring rates are matched with the right spring rate and shock/struts, you'll also experience a more comfortable ride. I ordered MM coil overs because I am planning on going autocrossing in the next year or so, and along with those a torque arm, lower control arms, and panhard bar, your looking at a mustang that can handle similarly to a stock bmw in most cases. Ride comfort and performance is always at war with each other tho, so if your looking for both, your out of luck, however if your more inclined towards 1 I would go for the performance springs/shocks/struts, as our cars handle like crap stock.

performance and looks - if you get new shocks and springs your car will love the corners. A night and day difference - no body roll...
