I dont understand why someone would buy a new car then lower it. Seems you bought the wrong type of car.
I'm afraid I am suffering from insomnia tonight, so to kill time I'm going to answer your query. In fact, I will be buying exactly the right sort of car. Here follows a defense for all those of us wise enough to drive a lowered car with big wheels.
Twenty years ago I bought a brand new Golf GTI. I wanted to improve the handling because although great, it could be made better. The suspension kit which I bought was designed to lower the car as part of that improvement. The larger wheels and wider, lower profile tyres also helped and the end result was far superior to a standard GTI. VW themselves later produced the GTI G60 which had the same size tyres and similar lowering as my car as part of its standard equipment.
The modifications were made to my car when it was just a few weeks old by GTI Engineering - a Volkswagen approved tuning company. I used that car every day for 12 years and covered nearly 100,000 miles and not once did the chassis touch the road, even when negotiating speed bumps. I've been doing it to my new cars ever since.
I would also mention wheels are a very important aesthetic cue on a car. Putting wider, lower profile tyres on a car visually accentuates the gap between the tyre and the arch - lowering the car a little brings this gap back into 'visual proportion' with the sidewall of the tyre. Just take a look at any car which has had a set of lower profile tyres fitted and hasn't been lowered. They tend to look a little bit awkward - like off-roaders. Car designers and stylists understand this, which is a part of the reason the GTI sits lower than a standard Golf.
Like all engineering solutions, the ride height, stiffness, tyre size, etc used on a car are a compromise chosen to give a desired result. Today, as in 1989, VW set up the GTI lower and with bigger wheels than the lesser Golfs to improve the handling in line with the greater engine performance, as well as improving the aesthetic of the car, at the expense of a little comfort and convenience. So by choosing to buy a GTI over an SE you are making the decision to have a car which is lowered and with bigger wheels than a 'standard' Golf.
You are therefore all subscribing to the same ethos that I am. The only difference is that I choose to move the engineering compromise slightly further towards the performance end of the spectrum and a little further away from the comfort end. If you need to climb steep driveways, traverse kerbs, boat ramps, scale mountains or just have really big speed bumps where you live, obviously you might choose to leave your car standard. Or buy a Touareg.
The defence rests.
