Hey Ken,

Be careful about lowering to much.  Especially if you plan to track the car.  
You may end up bottoming out the spring which may out you on the bumpstop.  
If you are still in the turn you are more likely to break traction in the 
front and end up understeering to the outside of the track.

Remember my Orange color '66 1600?  Well, I installed a set of comp springs 
on it too.  I made the mistake of not cutting the bumpstops enough and the 
roadster would understeer alot until it was corrected.
