Running out of suspension travel causes the spring rate to rise suddenly, breaking tire traction. Longer travel improves handling by preventing this from happening.
If you really want to go fast, you need linear (not progressive) springs and enough suspension travel so they don't ever hit the bump stops. Slammed cars give up performance for looks, or else they ride like buckboards.
