A street going sports car needs to have a certain amount of suspension flex and there is a point that is reached where you have lowered it too much and you've actually made its handling less capable even though you've lowered the COG. Not to mention you took that wonderfully engineered suspension geometry and moved it out of its optimal area of operation when you lowered it put those adjustable arms on. That is, if you put adjustable arms on to begin with rather than going without and ruining it even more.
Might as well just drive around in a shopping cart. LOL
