Lowering helps with handling, until you go too low and then it affects handling. From personal experience, even Super Lows start to adversely affect handling, compared to Lows/XR height.

If you want the car to stay flatter through corners, then upgrade swaybar link bushes and/or increase the swaybar diameter. The swaybars job is to retard the body roll of the car. Of course, by having lower springs, this also reduces body roll, as there is not the same distance available for the body to roll.
