To Apply Springs In A Lighter Vehicle

Hi Guys,
As i mentioned in an another topic before, for the guys who may wonder i'm from Turkey.

In Turkey Mitsubishi does not sell any Lancer models with a bigger engine than 1.8 and i have a version with 1.5mivec engine.

By the way i want to lower my car with eibach prokits which i found here and they are designed for 2.0 or bigger (2.4) engines. And this is where the problem occurs; as i searched in the internet there is a difference in the weight. The difference is approx. 75kgs with a usa region 2.0 lancer, also 2.0 engine is lighter than a 2.4 version (45kgs) And i'm curious about if the difference occurs only because of the different engines. if so front of the car will be lowered less than the inches told by the eibach company. would that be so much ? and how does this state affect the car? should i go for it?

moral of the story; do not purchase a car with a smaller engine...

any ideas will be appreciated...
thnx a lot.

I don't think it would be too much. 75 kg is what a person weighs, so the difference in drop would probably be the difference between the empty car and with the driver in it.
