Message not talking about the brace. People here more often mention "lowering" their Z cars for the "look" and reducing tire gap at the fender well. I have been too long out of physics class to apply the proper formula, but I believe small drops in vehicle height like we are talking about, produce measurable improvements in handling because of lowered center of gravity. Handling. Hugging corners. Staying stuck to the banked turns at a higher speeds, etc. These are a few of my favorite things. And the look, but that is secondary
