not if you get decent rims. look into Rotas slipsteams or circuit 8s or 10s. they are all really lightweight, and with goo dtires, will make a massive difference in handling. there are other choices as well, such as Spoon, Mugen and Volk, but they cost a grip.

also take a look at upper and lower strut bars. also, i knew lowering your car will lower the center of gravity, therefore making it easier to stay on the ground while cornering, but i never really thought it would do much. i got mine lowered about 2" to 2.5" down, and the corner is quite noticable. Go with wide rims, lowered, and strut bars. although i dont have struts, with my old rims and stock height, i couldnt take 90 degree corners at 50km/h, now with winder n bigger rims (and new rubber), and lowered, i can take em at nearly 70km/h. that's with going into the left lane and ending up on the left side, it's not a rally car .... yet
