Dunno why everyone around here is so set on the stock ride height. Why not have an economical car that can actually go around a corner or be stable in weird crosswinds?

Maybe I'm just too much of a racer at heart who likes capable vehicles in more than one sense.
Street racer, I assume. There are little concepts involving a vehicles roll center and suspension geometry that say lowering everything does not always make it handle better. And don't crosswinds really have more to do with the aerodynamic side profile than suspension setup? A tractor trailer slammed to 1" of ground clearance will still have issues in a strong crosswind. Simply adding stiffer springs or thicker sway bars would be what is actually helping to quell the side to side motions.
