i don't know how a lower car could make you slower, unless something was rubbing, as far as aerodynamics i don't think lowering can make it faster either , cause the front area stays the same size and the same amount of air is hitting the front end.

yeah i dont think it could have made your car slower your probably getting used to it maybe if your launching if its slammed and you have alot of negative camber then youll have less tire contact area. l

Hey man i have my car slammed 3" maybe more with TEIN coil overs and yes it
puts more resitance on ur cv joints and the tire angle changes therefore more friction. Thats one bad thing about slamming ur car

just another thought: I'd think that lowering your car with harder springs would make it feel quicker, especially when launching because there would be less weight transfer to the rear, and thus allow harder launches... I might be wrong tho.

Lowering your car, without having right setup on your suspension and springs will make your car slower. if your spring is hella hard, and your driving down in a bumy road, itll hop, so less traction, slower. on a corner, too soft, itll cause lotsa problems, your max speed entering the corner will be slower. so it all depends what u want to do with it. lowering your car will cause negative camber, so, less traction, slower. lotsa lotsa reasons.
