Not necessarily, when compared to say Sportlines or other lowering-springs, if adjusted the same lowering amount as that lowering spring ...because the space/distance between the spring perch and upper mount, will be exactly the same between a GC sleeve kit adjusted to 1.5" lower vs a 1.5" lowering spring. So I don't think it really matters how short the spring is in regards to travel (unless you're lowering it more than usual lowering springs). (and I said in regards to travel only ..not taking into account performance characteristics from # of coils and length of spring... which I am sure can get much deeper technically). A 1" shorter spring seems to give the correct, and also a decent range, in adjustment without making it too short and should have come with those lengths in the first place.
