Do Lowering Springs "Done Right" Offer ANY Performace Advantage

So the answer is always coilovers, I get that. I however do not want to give up on my EDC and would like the car to be just a bit stiffer with a tad less body roll while enjoying the aesthetics of a lowered car. I stumbled upon Malek's post from 2010 where he seems to have found a way to do lowering springs "right" with e36 bump stops and more that supposedly actually gained handling performance and feel.

The post can be found here https://www.m3post.com/forums/showth...ghlight=shaved

My question is that to anyone who has done this mod or something similar is, how did it age? Do you actually feel as if your car handles better, has better feel, less roll? Did it introduce any negative effects such as unexpected understeer, loss of control or loss of confidence when hitting bumps mid corner?

I would love to drop my car a tad while gaining some performance (even if marginal) but what I will absolutely not do is pay money to loose performance or cause bad characteristics with any mod I do.

Thanks!
