not to sound rude but 'better for what?'

I've noticed that lowering the car can throw off some drag packs where they fit regular height vehicles but when lowered do not fit in the wheel-well and it really doesn't help with your launch & 60 foot.

If you going to drag the car leave it at stock height!!

Like Hotwheeels said its not going to help with anything other that scrapping the ground more often when you pull in and out of driveways...
