Default decide whether to lower or not: eibach prokit

hi I am interested in lowering my car, from my understand prokit is a progressive spring with about 1.5 inch of drop

I think the advantage includes somewhat, slightly better handling? less leaning when turning

What about the disadvantage? Would I need camber correction and alignment? How about shocks? would I need to replace them with aftermarket shocks?

what about noise? excessive bumpy ride?

let me know what you guys think

It is a function over looks spring, with daily driver in mind. They work with stock shocks but you might as well swap em out with adjustables. Ride is firmer and feels more planted to the ground. It is a good daily driver, occaisional spirited driving spring imo. If you are more into road racing or autoxing Id get custom springs like GCs... prokits are a bit too soft in the rear imo, too much understeer.
