No, it doesnt. You don't push that car to the limits where you will benefit from that difference of that center of gravity.
Secondly, it comes with some negatives and punishment for the chassis and the comfort.
Forget about being unable to wash it under and put high pressure wash in there to prevent future rust and clean the wheel well.

It looks out of place as the wheel arch of the car is not in sync with the wheel anymore; looks like is broken, and has no benefits for a normal user.
I do push cars to the limit (not on the street). I did find my F80 handled noticeably better after lowering springs were installed.

You're making a subjective statement about the appearance of a lowered car and for the most part I agree with you. I'm not a fan of the "slammed" look. I do feel a modest drop and spacers helps any car look better and I say that as a 39 year old Executive and not a "boy racer."
