These guys have done their homework.

yeah, unless you overhaul the WHOLE suspension, it generally is better for handling to keep a car at close to stock height

i never really drive at the limit so i was more interested in reducing body roll.

conventional wisdom was that the lower you drop your car, the less body roll you have, but i've recently found out that dropping the car too low can make body roll worse because of roll center issues

wish i knew this before!

it was weird when i got the comforts installed and drove it and felt like the body roll had not really improved.
