Brace yourself for this answer... yes and no.
While a drop can be beneficial to handling by helping eliminate a bit of sway, your stock struts won't be working as efficiently and won't last as long, and you've also changed the center of balance of your car which would be fine if you don't plan on turning both directions.
Get springs for looks... If you want performance, get sway bars and struts (and of course, tires)

I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of the few Relentless strut bars that was manufactured by GT Spec, with a GT Spec badge on it.
Sorry, I only go for parts that are effective, whether they are cheap or not.

The GT Spec and others like it are mostly for looks. Granted, they will help, but realistically, not much. If you want a real front strut bar, hit up Relentless Autosports for their front strut bar. But since they aren't really producing the thing anymore, the next best thing would be something like the regular GT Spec ones with fender braces for added support. This will be the next best thing to a true 3 point strut bar.

Ok I've done damn near ever accessory you can do to this car ( check the sig) I've just got the 5/16 spacer and MREV2 put on yesterday even though the MREV is made 4 MT and I have an AT the guy who I buy parts from gave me the hook up. N e ways Im looking @ about 3-400$ for my next mod. I asked him what he thinks and he said just to save up for a drop, which hurt my soul when I saw some of the starting prices for coilovers, but I want something 2 add 2 it. Im on a military base and it's 9 G coupes floating around, ever 1's that I've seen r completely stock except for 2, which one only has rims and the other basically has the skyline thing going on with the badges and things... oh well but Im basically trying 2 distinguish mine which I've already done but basically 2 keep the 1+ on ppl lol
