No it does not. Its all about how you setup. What do you have now for suspension?

It doesn't at all as long as you correct your suspension for the lower ride height.

I have cars with our BMR lowering spring that cut low to mid 1.3s 60 ft times. As long as everything set up right you can use lowering springs in your set up.
