The car will lower more because there will be less effective spring stiffness to react the static load. If it is a progressive spring you will destroy it completely. As you can see in my profile i am an Automotive Engineer, in addition i am specialized in suspension and handling. I just want to say that the idea of lowering the car for better handling is false and in many times not required. The suspension geometry changes in a way difficult to understand. The position of the CG is the last to make a difference. What we are concerned with is the CG distance from the roll centre of the car which in some car increases as the spring shortens due to alterations in the suspension geometry. That will produce larger Jacking forces and although the car will corner better up to a limit it could roll over or slide agressively without a warning. What i want to say is that you should not listen to these "i know "mechanics or people who think that they got it all because they have open a book. Go to a proper modification centre if available and ask them if lowering the particular car is suitable for true better handling and safety. If they know their job they will first study the geometry and then give you an answer or proposal. See you!
