I have a Territory ... it's stock ... and it outhandles many a lowered vehicle. Another guy in the Territory forum increased his ride height with stiffer springs ... and it handles better than standard ... albeit with a higher centre of gravity.
Lowering isn't the be-all and end-all of handling performance ... my next mod on the Territory to increase handling performance is changing the shocks in it to better gas items ... but not lowering it.

True, theres a whole package to consider. I was just stating the lowering portion as it was in question. Stiffer springs with correct travel and better quality shock was already covered by yourself.
Id dare say, that while it feels better at certain speeds, when push comes to shove, the taller one will flip before the lower one. Well, unless theres tons of body roll in the lower one, and starts running on the sidewalls.
i guess what I was saying (I can see not clearly, hows that for a non-sequitur?) is that two cars of the same model with same suspension/tyres etc barring height, the lower one will remain right side up longer.
