Miata shocks and springs

I have a '92 Miata with 15'' Panasports with 70K miles on it . I want to replace the shocks and springs . A friend who has experience and a spring compressor his will help me install.
I have ordered the Koni str.t "street" shocks and Eibach prokit springs from tire rack . The springs will lower the car about 1.2" . My friend is questioning whether this will lower the car too much and whether the Eibachs are a good match for the Koni's . I want to improve the handling , but while I do some rally's , I don't want to compromise the every day ride quality.
Thanks for any advice !

Welcome to the forum. I'll let those that know what they are talking about reply.

You might want to get new bumpstops while you're at it. If those are originals, they will be extra crunchy. Lots of good info here -
