That was not a relaible source. You can lower it a sensible amount just fine.

the only disablement of ATTS that I know is

switching to a non ATTS equipped ECU(switching a chiped OBD1)
or breaking 250ish whp(even then the "clutches" in the ATTS unit just start slipping at that power level)

as long as your not trying to lay frame you should be fine with a decent drop and keeping ATTS

My car is not slammed by any means but it's lower than stock. Here are some examples. I don't have any issues with my ATTS at all and I've taken some decent corners to test it all out.

Dude. Your car is lowered? That looks like stock height. What springs are you using and how much of a drop is that? Half an inch?

I have Koni Yellow's with GC springs. It's lower than stock. I took those pics at a low angle so it might seem higher than it is and it's not dumped like most cars. I do like to get over speed bumps and **** lol. Here is a pic of it stock height:
Not sure how much I lowered it as I didn't measure the height when it was stock but it is lower than it used to be. It's at about a two finger gap now.

I didn't touch mine from GC. I think the front was in the middle and the rear was at the top perch. I can't remember though. I was just told not to touch them. I am going to lower it a bit more once I find out how much travel I have in the front as it seems I don't have much left. We'll see.

camber problems? that's not really that bad. helps in cornering. worry about toe problems. helps in tire wear.
