Yeah nah, I disagree.

Having your suspension, and therefore your brakes, working well is more important on the street, with other cars, kids, animals and every other hazard you don't find on a track.

Incorrect spring rates, dampening, travel, and alignment settings can, and does effect stopping distances.

Lowered springs, with high spring rates, on OEM, or, not matched dampers is engineering poor handling into a car.

People get their look, at the sacrifice of handling and braking, which to me, is insane.

Opinions may vary, just like stopping distances and handling.
