It would be unfair to paint a picture that is all roses and potpourri. A set of coilovers can not only make for a better handling car, but also improve efficiency. Tesla tuning company Unplugged Performance also did a thorough Computational Fluid Dymanics (CFD) study which showed an 8.1% reduction in drag. A pseudo-scientific study by German Tesla rental company nextmove showed a 7% increase in range on the German Autobahn. Lowering your car decreases the overall aerodynamic drag of the vehicle and increases range. Steering feels more precise and the ride is usually "tighter". As described above, when lowering the center of gravity of the vehicle there are actual improvements to the traction of the car which leads to a more connected driving experience. When people say a car "drives like a boat", this is often because of vague steering feedback and a soft ride. While lowering springs can objectively improve the handling of the car, the improvements in vehicle dynamics serve to subjectively improve the handling of the car as well. However, if we are only looking at the better looks of lowering a car we have missed the primary benefits of installing Lowering Springs. As OEMs have continued to make more attractive stock wheels, this aesthetic change can be made even simpler with wheel spacers and a drop. Most enthusiasts know that "wheels and a drop" can make any car stand out from a run of the mill stock car.
