For me, I think EVERYTHING looks better lowered, and it also lowers the Cg, from a performance aspect. That said, I grew up around hot rods, and lead sleds. Eventually I got into the minitruck scene, and low was they how they rolled. I've installed hydraulics, cut springs, added lowering blocks, helped with air shock installs (before airbags got popular).
First speedbump after I lowered the BRZ, and you could hear it scrape, many would cringe, my wife started to laugh, because I had a grin on my face
