That's why I'm asking, people with coilovers don't really have this issue, but with lowering springs you may need a 1/4" spacer on the top hat to level it back out. Spacers like this: http://www.subtle-solutions.com/prod...roducts_id=286

60lbs/2.2kg/lb = 27.3kg
For a fairly typical front spring rate for lowering springs of 3.5 kg/mm that's 27.3/(2*3.5kg/mm) = 3.9mm decrease in ride height
For 80lbs that's 5.2mm

It's definitely significant, I wanted to know if the math translated to reality.
