Anyone have experience w/stock and lowered ?

I have run both and found lowering (only ever tested 20 mm) results in massive push on the gas in a corner - almost rendering the LSD useless.

Has anyone else found this ?

Does anyone have a lowered setup that doesn't do this ?

How did you lower it?

Koni Yellow w/custom snap-ring groove located 10 mm lower than stock groove. Stock springs.

If I recall correctly... the clip/ snap ring should be in the middle for stock springs or it causes problems with handling like you said. Put them in the middle and see if that helps.
Maybe this helps... I dunno.

The shocks come with 2 snap ring grooves. Top one is stock and bottom one is like 20 mm below, which would lower the car about 35 mm. So I lowered it half that much... I'm now running on the top groove (stock).

My toe is always right around 0, 0 - maybe slightly negative up front...

I can't believe everybody that runs lowered setup has a push problem this severe and thinks it's ok, so maybe the problem goes away at 30+ mm lowering ?

I'm stumped... Maybe some of the more experienced Suspension guys will chime in for you.
