It maybe "bad" to lower a mcpherson struted car, and I may only get a 10% increase in springrate with Maxx struts, BUT I have no body roll (if I do I've never felt it). That 10% equals a lot on a car that only weights around 2000 lbs and most of the weight is in the back, any stiffer and your front wheels will bounce on every little bump on the road (very bad when in the corners). Take a small chance and go with a setup that someone on here recommends that works them and see if you like it then from there you can start to try different things. It doesn't take a lot to get a super to handle. As far sway bars go I have 7/8" in front and 3/4" in rear and that seems to be the magic number. Strut brace is a must too.
I can't put into words how my 1302 feels in the corners, it almost feels like a frontwheel drive car pulling me through the corners. I know ff cars suck in the corners but thats how it feels.
Also when you get the moulhouland super be prepared to replace just about ever part of the front suspension cause after 32 years the parts will be wore out. I like to use German parts whenever possible, much higher quality.
