I think this is a little to negative. If you have it done right by the right people (not some punk shop that will "slam" it) using springs designed to lower your car merely an inch you will not have any noticable cons. No real pros either but you arent destroying anything sheesh. Go for it, just do it right. And if were "just teenagers wasting rubber burning tires and ruining our vehicles by lowering it an inch" so be it.
