What's the point? I see a lot of cars modified lowered by installing adjustable suspension system with low profile tyres.

lower the car will lower the center of gravity as well, so it is a bit more stable on high speed.
lower ride normally will have a stiffer suspension, plus with low profile tires which is probably hard sidewall, it will reduce the body roll when doing heavy corner. |

Sports cars such as skylines or imprezas are also lowered or have their suspensions changed. Why? To further IMPROVE the stability and handling on it. Remember, not everyone likes to drive straight, a lot of enthusiasts likes cornering.

sumtimes lowering the car helps, it depends whether the owner did for driving purposes or styling purposes..
a lowered car can provide a lower center of gravity to the car which in turn making the car more stable.. just like amduser pointed out doesn't mean do heavy cornering only wat, it improves the overall stability of the car. |

Not everyone loves to drive below 60. People who drive above 60 and take corners can feel body roll. They lower their rides to counter this! Some opt for it for its aesthetic looks.

You got to accept the fact. Not everyone can own a sports car. They have to mod a sedan car, to look and perform like a sports car.
