Every metro of that age is starting to rust around the suspension, lowering the car will put more stress on the unibody and could total the car because the parts of the suspension mounts that fail are not replaceable.
To get better mileage a gearing change and a cam change to the XFI (62mpg version of the metro) cam (or cam regrind) would be the best use of your money for improved mileage.
