Springs aren't just for looks. Lowering springs give you higher rates (in most cases) and lower your center of gravity which is very important in handling. They also stiffen your susp. (rates) therefore preventing the car from diving. Eg- you don't want your car to "nosedive" into a turn and lighten up the rear-end. Now you have no traction in the rear. Nothing else will help you there. I believe springs are equally important.
