lowering

If i was to put lowering springs that fit on a diesel car onto a petrol car, Would there be any differences? Would it not lower as much on the front as i know that diesels are slightly heavier, or would it effect the handling? Also do they use the same type of suspension on the front...

I remeber years ago am sure I read something that if you fit aftermarket lowering springs to standard shocks, you are going to ruin your suspension is some way. Is this true?
