Lowering help

I have searched on this topic, but there are a lot of options out there as far as lowering your car and I have some questions that are hard to do a search on. First, will lowering the car by about an inch or inch and a half make the ride tighter on the highway? In other words, will there be less wind turbulence? I hate that light feel of the car when the wind gusts or when you get behind a big truck. That is the main reason I want to try and lower the car. If the answer to that question is yes, then my next question is can I do this with just springs? I don’t want to “slam” the car, but just lower it a tad. I appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks.

i just put in h&r's w/kyg agx's and there is def a diff. the drop was about 1.5 in teh front and 1.4 in the rear so it's not slammed...but it still looks nice and the ride is def improved in terms of handling. i think the handling will improve even more once i add a RSB and FSTB...just my opinion

Yeah you can eliminate that sensation with springs. You should get a spring that offers only a slight drop if you don't want the slammed look. You should also really replace your struts when you swap in new springs so that you don't blow your stock struts.
