I always laugh at the ignorant owners who lower their cars for looks and then claim it is for performance.
We used to see new racers on the track do this, often introducing unacceptable levels of bump steer, because they either thought it looked 'racy' or they saw sports racers that had been properly designed for those heights (I raced in production classes).
Some of them caught on and repaired the damage they had done by lowering by adjusting steering rack mounting height or using tie rod end spacers (or sometimes raising the inner pivot point of the lower A arms), but a large segment never did 'get it'. I expect that exactly the same thing happens in solo competition. Even when other racers drive around them in the corners or beat their times on a solo course.
It reminds me of a similar mental affliction, owners who fit huge brakes to their cars adequate for a semi, when all they had to do to maximize braking with the stock system was to change pad compounds and/or add a bit of cooling
