W124 ride height vs. ride
 
I have a stock 300ce that sits about 1 1/2" lower than stock. Apparently the suspension has anti-dive geometry. Would sitting lower than stock result in a stiffer ride even when you are not hitting the bump stops?

Thanks

most lowering springs will stiffen the ride a little because they are stiffer than stock springs as well as being shorter.

if the lowering springs have a much greater spring rate than the stock springs, the stock shocks will be wearing out in the very near future.
