Wider profile tyres/wheels help (for example, 195/45/15 tyres and 15" alloys are better than 165/70/13 tyres and 13" steel rims!
But yes lowering will make a difference with wider wheels.

Well on my old Corsa it was lowered 35mm on Chassis Dynamics springs with 15" wheels (195/45/15 tyres), and that handled like a go-kart!
Any lower and the ride gets harsher to be honest.
