[200q20v] Lowering Springs? - or better idea agains side wind impact

[C1J1Miller at aol.com]

Oops, the konis are yellow; only the rear are visible; should I repaint the front strut towers yellow? Factory was grey front (hidden inside) and black (visible) rear; should I repaint to match?

Bernie: have you driven one of these cars with altered suspension, or driven your stock-setup car on the track?
What do you do when you've loaded up your cars with people/things, and compressed the springs to a lower ride height?  Any chance your stock springs have sagged a bit with age?
