I'd like to get some input from those of you with these [or similar] setups, particularly in terms of how well they achieve the goals I've stated...

1) Lower the car about 1.5". Any lower and the crappy roads will decimate any future bodywork (still kicking around the idea of a bodykit)

2) Dramatically reduce the amount of acceleration squat and brake dive I now have to deal with.

3) Make the car rotate better and corner flatter than it does currently.

4) Given the above, maintain a firm, but not teeth-chipping, crashy ride quality.
