Lowering affect 60ft??
 
Will lowering my car hurt its 60 ft??....I have stock 4cyl springs and it transfers weight pretty good now..If I lower it will it not weight transfer as good??

yeah it can dramatically affect how well the car comes off the line with street tires

Yes, it will take the ability of transferring weight out of your suspension. Unless you have a fully built race car with a ladder set-up you do not want to be to low to the ground.

To low on a non race car will usually get you a lot of wheel hop or spinning.
