CV joints, bushings in general, sweep geometry of the suspension at lowered vs stock height, wheel bearings etc.... it all takes a beating.

You guys are talking about extremes now. What are considering to be slammed compared to a .5" drop?

What I don't know is how you can say that less drop = better when that simply isn't true. Correct spring rates for the amount of drop = better. The lower you go, the higher your spring rates need to be. And yes I know why. And I don't know where I EVER said that you need to lower your car to the extreme. I believe I said 1.5 - 2.5 inches should be perfect.... And 2 inches of drop wil NOT ruin your geometry, I don't care what ANYONE says.

Yes, a two inch drop CAN ruin suspension and steering geometry, if the car is dropped beyond the point of having correct suspension travel it will negatively effect handling, and no amount of correct stiffness in the spring is going to change that. The distances between the shock mounting points, and the trailing arms and chassis are specifically designed to work at certain angles, and within specific distances of travel, you can lower these distances, but at a certain point you either have to correct the geometry of the parts for the drop, or suffer handling and that's just a fact, like it or not.
