Track Virgin No more.

I think its a pretty well-established fact that lowering springs are mostly aesthetic improvements and less about handling improvements. They don't change the damping rate of the shocks to cope with bumps of higher speed and frequency like a set of coilovers can.

It can get rather choppy in the bends when the car starts hopping sideways over undulations.

The car felt neutral and balanced because you weren't going fast enough, Marc.

I am thinking more about center of gravity... guess I try the NFs, not that expensive, though I know I'm gonna want the coilovers eventually...

Yes I forgot about that. You will get a lower CG, the lowered springs are stiffer so they'll also resist roll a little better.
