Does lowering compromise performance or does it depend? What does it depend on?

On smooth pavement you will noticed enhanced performance. On ****************ty, potholed riddled NYC roads, you will notice enhanced Kidney pains
The lower the car, the less suspension travel (typically) to absorb impacts. Also, since the travel is often shorter, the compromise is to run stiffer springs to prevent bottoming out. Thus, a stiffer ride.
On the plus side you will notice even sharper handling and roadholding due to a lowering of the vehicles center of gravity.
Everything has a trade off. What do you want to live with?
