lowering springs and low profile tires will cause a rough ride. It's sort of a rule.

Lowering my Vette did not effect ride quality nor alignment. Alignment was checked before and after lowering. Also, I switch tires side to side on each axel with a current 21K on OE tires. My tire technician estimated I have at least another 7K miles left.
