I will concede it should lower drag as most car bottoms are very draggy.
Lowering a car mainly lowers COG, that does not automatically across the board improve a car's handling as there are many other factors at play and it actually may worsen handling.
Additionally, when one does have ride height adjustability, it should be mentioned "rake" is another consideration in reducing drag

Tire frontal area is reduced. So lowering an inch reduces frontal area by about a square foot give or take.
