Lowering improves the fineness ratio (length/height)of the car which is extremely important to drag.
The lowest drag concepts all use active suspension to lower and rake the body for maximum drag reduction for highway-only driving.For in town use the car raises to SAE minimum clearances.
Hucho spends a bit of time in his books discussing this very thing.
