Default lowered question

For those of you guys with manual transmissions that are lowered, did you find that lowering it helped with the bucking associated with the engine braking and up shifts? Yes I know I can feather the clutch and rev match, but still did you notice any difference?

Not really. That bucking it associate with the driveline, not really the suspension.

I always rev match when I down shift to avoid that.
