Increased body roll is to some extent compensated by stiffer spring rates. That said, one of the biggest downsides to lowering springs is that it shortens the suspension travel. With less travel to go around, you'd be hitting the bump stops a lot more--which is why mild drops are better from a performance standpoint.
