    Handle better meaning it'll have some more roll to it. yeah. ;)
    Depending on how much you need to drop it.

      How did you calculate that? Lowering the subframe about 1/4-1/2" at the most is what I am thinking about. I'll have to do some research and talk to people who design or work with suspension to see what they say.

      If you keep the body of the car stationary, the front subframe, the engine (and maybe tranny as well if needed if it will be an issue with the driveshaft/shifter angle), steering rack and the inner front control arm points would lower. But it's possible that the net result would be lower subframe but a slightly higher chassis or body of the car in relationship to the subframe/ground level .... I don't know yet basically. Lowering the engine down on it's own shouldn't cause more roll, if anything it might only be an improvement...it's the suspension geometry change that I'll need to confirm about..

        Because it changes the geometry like you lowered the car even more.
