If you know how to setup a car, choose the proper height and spring rates, you may be alright. The problem is there isn't enough test data to show what may or may not work.

If you are talking about the aftermarket lowering springs, those are not 'performance' springs, they are only for cosmetic purposes.
Are factory springs "performance" springs?
