ok this is a simple easy yes or no question, does lowering your car make you faster due to aerodynamics or is lowering your car mostly for show purposes only... Thank You

Stiffer springs help the car launch better...less weight transfer on take off.

i would considier it performance you can cut some impressive times off your 1/4's cuz you can have less wheel hop and you don't throw the front of ur car up

Depends on who you ask. If a person is more into showing, then it's a necessary appearance modification. If a person enjoys autocrossing, it's a performance modification.

Lowering your car lowers the center of gravity, which means your car will stick to the road better while cornering. :wink:

Good quality springs will have a spring rate much better suited to performance driving.
