Effects of lowering by 1 inch:
(1) Ride quality deteriorates noticeably. Unless the road surface is perfect, you spend much of the driving time with your eyes focusing on bump and pot hole avoidance. That actually takes away a lot of the driving pleasure.
(2) Shorter life for the shocks, from about 30k miles to no more than 20k miles.
(3) More cracking and rattling sooner. The car feels like every bolt has come loose.
(4) Need to slow down to a snail pace every time you come to your driveway or speed bump. And you still keep scraping the front end.
(5) Much more prone to bottoming out.
(6) When driving at night, headlight of other vehicles is blinding your sight, because you are sitting so low. SUV's and trucks are particularly horrible, because their headlight sit high.
