When you are driving in a straight line, how fast you can go has a lot to do with how powerful your car's engine is and how good is the power to weight ratio. Of course it will also depend on how good are your brakes because you should be able to stop a car even more quickly then you can build up its speed, but for now let us assume that the brakes of the car are good enough to meet the challenges thrown at them. When you are driving in a curve the maximum speed at which you can go is not determined by the power of the engine alone. In fact unless the engine has very low power it may not depend on the power of the engine at all.

In a curve your maximum speed will first depend on how tight the curve is, if it is very tight you will need to slow down a lot and if it is a gentle bend then you will still be able to go round the curve at a fairly high speed. And for a given curve which is neither too tight nor too gentle, the speed at which your car can move will also depend on how stable your car is. If your car starts to threaten to topple over then you will have to slow it down for safety reasons. But if your car can remain ...
... stable then you will be able to go quite fast confidently.

And it is here that lowering springs help you to boost the effective performance of your car. By effective performance I mean not the performance based on the raw power your car can deliver but the amount of power and speed the design of the car allows you to enjoy. Lowering springs make your car more stable by lowering its center of gravity. You will be able to turn tight corners without fearing the car will roll over. You can also consider other products that enhance control such as strut bars. The thing to remember is quality performance is as much about great controls as it is about raw power.
