Lowering Question

I have been thinking about lowering my Camaro. I was told that my engine temp will go up some b/c of less air going under the car, has anyone experience this?
Thanks

i don't buy it

air can still flow under the car, as long as you don't tamper with or remove the air dam you should have PLENTY of airflow, even from a car that is drasticly lowered.

That's BS...I just lowered mine and installed a new air dam and it runs as cool as ever.

yeah, the only way i coudl see lowering effecting cooling, is if you removed the air dam, and other plastics under the front of the car. since those help the air flow to the radiator.
