Setting a street car lower than practical dramatically increases risk of loss of control from grounding out and transferring the weight from the rubber to the underside.

You want a car that drags on the ground, buy a '63 Impala and change your name to Carlos. Don't wreck a great car in some futile attempt to impress your posse.

Not that I have a strong opinion on this or anything....
I know of a 63 impala owner. his name is Bill. Just sayin.
