Mine is lowered about 2",drives fine but the ride is a little stiff and I have to be careful on speed bumps and sharp incline type driveways etc.
I bought it that way so I can't really compare the before and after for you.

I got the BMR lowering springs on mine and it was totally worth it. The car handles better, a little more stiff ride, but not that much. On the highway, it's smooth. I would do it when you can add some good shocks/struts. I got the KYB 8 way adjustables all around and it just handles so much better and I can feel more of what the car is doing, the seat of your pants feedback from the car.

yes, driveways can sometimes suck. i drop my gf off at the bottom of her driveway because there is no way I can pull all the way up without nailing my exhaust lol

just put eibach pro kit on, quoted as 1.2" drop but more like 1.5"+, car feels a lot better, with less body roll, so rather pleased
