Lowering spring

I’d like to lower my car 1” to 1.25” how bad will I kill the ride quality and will it effect my mag ride at all. My car has to much rake and wheel well gab for my liking. I’ve seen BMR and Detroit speed sells coil springs I want the best without killing the ride not looking to slam car

Reason for the 1/2 spacer in rear was it to low in rear after installing springs and who sells the spacers if needed

The BMR springs seem to sag in the rear. I wanted to have the rear of the car a little higher than the front. Even stock the ZL1 seems lower in the rear.

I think I went with 1/2" lowering springs. Any lower and the car becomes undrivable in daliy conditions.
