It can make for a better handling experience while maintaining good ride quality if you do it correctly. But if you cheap out, it is possible you will ride like a CRX. IMO buy a good kit so you don't have to do it again later.

Also research a little, there's so much info on here about lowering kits its ridiculous.

i would stay away from the shackle/hanger rear drop. mine messed up my pinion angle even with the shims provided with the kit. if you dont mind riding low a 4/6 drop with a rear flip kit and c notch will ride better.
