I suspect there is a spectrum of drivers for whom the answer to this question would vary. A long, long time ago I was talking to one of my instructors about modifying my car. He asked me if I was getting 100% out of the car 100% of the time. If not, then there was no point to making the car faster.
I think that was a valid point...For many non-professional drivers the main thing holding their lap times back is them, not the car. So suspension mods might well lower my lap times because they would make me more comfortable pushing harder. But I bet that improving my driving would have the same effect.
