Its not ideal to be starting in any kind of upwards position or moving to that, because it will negatively affect your handling as stated earlier.

Our car handles pretty good even with the lowered crossmember. This is with basically replacement shocks and Tein Luxo Master Springs. I am very happy with the performance.

The other problem with this pratice is it takes away from ground clearance. The ideal way is to lower your engine through your mounts.

This is true, but lowering the crossmember is a lot easier and cheaper.
