    It's an expression!

    To OP there's a thread with suspension FAQs somewhere on here. It tells you all about the effects it has on handling, what springs to get etc.

    Personally I've had Eibachs before so when I get mine done I'll be using the 30mm Eibach Pros as they don't hinder the ride as much and you can still use the standard shocks. Anymore than 30mm and you risk bottoming the suspension out unless you buy shorter and stiffer shocks.

    Hope this helps
