lowering.. i would assume acceleration would either stay the same or get better slightly.-Cornering will be easier at higher speeds-Looks cool

Cons:- If you live where i live = snow, you may run into some troubles. Im still deciding wheather or not to drop my car b/c snow gets really high sometimes.- Might hit curbs when opening doors- Suspension gets worn over time- Id assume you have to take it off when reselling to dealer.

What do you mean by this? Are you worried about the acceleration off the line? Generally from a standstill, lowering the car reduces "squat" on a hard acceleration.
