If you fit lowering springs you need to fit shorter bump stops than stock.
Have you tracked the car on anything stickier than the OEM Primacies? As soon as you turn in into a corner, the car leans over and is sitting on the bumpstops, for all of the corner until you unload on track out. If you hit a bump, ondulation, a berm, anything really, the car jumps, there is no suspension left to compress. It is really evident when driving on low profile tires (something like 235/40 for example), if it hasnt happened to you yet, it will scare the shit out of you when it does, until you realize that is all the suspension is going to do for you in that scenario. That is of course, until you get stiffer springs. Btw, when I talk about stock suspension, I mean stock springs as well, lowering springs are not stock, that goes for TRD ones as well.
