Hey guys, if you don't mind my .02
Well, I have my GS lowered about 3" with Tein "Flex" Coilovers.. No problems there.. But whoever told you that if you drop your car more than 1.25" or whatever it was is actually correct, IF you're running the springs on the factory struts.. The OEM struts can't take that kind of stress and with hard driving you'll probably get only a few months out of them from the time you install your lowering springs till they give.. But now if you went with awhole strut/spring upgrade you won't have any worries about your struts giving away on you.. The aftermarket struts were developed to take that extra stress/load that sport springs give.. Or you can always go the route I took and get yourself some coilovers, yes the ride is alittle stiffer than a spring/strut setup but with the "Flex" I can adjust the dampening too.. Also with coilovers you can raise and lower your car as you see fit, and your not stuck at one height that the spring manufactures think is ideal.. Well, that's it.. I hope I helped...
