1) A little stiffer.
2) Depends on how much you lower it.
3) Depends on how you do it. There are several ways to achieve the same effect.

You name it i've had it or got it...
renntech elm is fully adjustable and electronic. the only other way to achieve what you want are the adjustable arms. but they are a ***** to adjust.

A curious question:

Does the alignment change with each height setting? And if so, does it get out of wheel alignment spec (factor range for caster, camber, etc.)?

yes it does change the camber with each setting....from very slightly to extreme....the more you lower it obviously the worse it will be. when you go over 1 1/2 inches you run into having to get a camber kit etc...to get it factory specs.

You can do a control module, lowering arms that trick the sensors, or by placing washers on the front and bending the rear arms. You achieve the same results with all three, but the cost of each varies dramatically.
