what are the pros/cons to lowering springs?

seems to me the 240 is already fairly low. im leary of bottoming it out and beating the hell out of the steering/suspension going over poorly paved or dirt roads, potholes, etc.

do the original springs sag noticably after 143k?

ive driven one with lowering springs, 17" rims, & strut braces. too stiff for my taste.

if i use original springs, 15" rims, & strut braces, will it still handle tight or seem sloppy? would it make any sense to add sway bars to compensate if it does? $250

should i replace the steering rack while the engines out if it doesnt leak yet? $230

whats the affordable compromise?

im very confused with all these options my head hurts please help me

:confused:

the good news is i still have new oem tension rods and kyb shocks

:)
