Default lowering spring plus pulley q

alright i want to get my scion tc lowered with hothckis and some 18's but my friends told me not to lower it, they said on their civics and caveliers they lowered now it felt like they had noo suspension and the ride was toooo harsh i guess, is this true, also when i get my nst und. drive pulley will it help with takeoffs like easier to take off and less boggy down feeling you get sometimes thanks peace

your friends with the civics and caveliers are ricers and probably cut their springs
don't listen to them, its not even that dramatic, I have hotchkis springs and love them

hotchkis fsho~ yeah..... you're taking advice from cavalier and civic owners..... no. you'll feel more road, and to me, that's not harsh. that's better. also, a underdrive pulley.... don't know what a boggy down feeling feels like

just how the engine stutters sometimes if you dont take off right or like in a high gear at a low rpm it stutters/bogs is what i meant and is a pulley hopefully helped this i just asked it with my spring q so it would all be in 1 q, soo with the springs it wont feel harsh or crappy ride sweet peace

dude, a pulley won't help your engine's stuttering.. that happens b/c there's not enough gas compared to the amount of clutch that's engaged. stuttering happens because of you, not the car.

o well i thought like when your drivin at a low speed in like 4th gear it stutters u dont use the clutch then, i thought a pulley would help the low end and stop this, will a torque damper help the engine from doin that thanks though

no, shifting down would help it. a torque damper just keeps the engine from swinging back and forth when you floor it.
