it will worsen your handling. those are race springs with very high spring rates. 20kg+ bone chattering on bumps. about 3 times more than you want. if you want to lower your car, get some drop in springs. if you want better performance, get some koni dampers from redshift. you only want as much spring as the tires can handle. your shocks wont handle these springs and you will bounce VERY violently.
