it is very important to remember that everything about a car's suspension is designed to work as it came from the factory. a suspension mod as simple as wheels and tires can ajust the scrub radius (the angle between the steering axis and the wheel centerline at the road surface). changing this scrub radius will change the entire feel of the steering of the vehicle and often will result in reduced traction over stock. the problem can be made worse by lowering the car. changing ride height will always change camber unless camber plates are used. changing camber will always change toe. using extreme camber angles is very hard on ball joints and contro arms as well as steering components. if you are not careful when lowering your car, you will end up with a vehicle that eats tires and handles worse and less predictably that stock. it is imperative that a four wheel alignment be done by a professional who understands the suspenion demands of the enthusiast driver after changing any suspension components.
