Maintaining momentum around corners to brake less going in and accelerate less going out. It's not going to help much on aero but when you're driving in a twisty area you'll be able to drive faster, possibly in a higher gear with lower RPM and higher engine load.
Also, you'll have tons of fun. Get someone from the local forum to come help you with the install, then give them beer.
An alignment will probably do you well anyway- chalk it up to regular maintenance.
My Rabbit's lowered 2" on Ebay coilovers with 4" ground clearance on the oil pan. It rides rough but the ability to throw it around corners is well worth the price and (sometimes) annoyance. And it looks a ton better. Got my alignment done by the guy widely regarded as the best in the area (Jeff the Alignment Guy) and it cost something like $114 because he had to put in rear wheel camber shims. You Teg probably has a better and more adjustable rear suspension setup.
