spacer and spring will break the balance of suspension geometry and change the rolling center point of the car. Lower you car doesn't give you better handling, it only changes the subjective driving feed back. 99% of suspension mods will make the handling worse. spacer change the center point of tire and wheel center, be careful with anything change your suspension geometry. I am strongly recommend not to lower your car.

Coming from a guy that's modding his car heavily adding a supercharger on a stock block most likely isn't smart either but you don't recommend lowering a car please send me a link that states lowering a car is going to make it worse. I can see if you have a crazy amount of negative camber but who's going to slam a GSF that much? Yes I can see wheel spacer isn't the best option.

I decided not to put the supercharger kit on my car, I don't want to take that risk.

I mean you will compromise your traction performance in corner anyway you mod your suspension, if you really want to do it, use a coliover and find a decent shop to correct your suspension geometry

This is way harder than most people consider when lowering their cars. Most lowered cars don't consider the impacts to roll couple or steering geometry at all. The owners doing this are looking for visual performance, not mechanical performance.
