Correct ground effects actually help quite a bit. They make less air under the car, helping to stablize and cut drag. This improves top speed and fuel mileage on the highway only. No noticable difference at low speeds. Different effects can actually increase drag, but help downforce and cornering as a result. Again you have to be moving fast enough for the effect to occour.
Be sure there is enough air flow to the radiator. Many kits actually increase radiator flow.
The other consideration is what just simply looks good. Which are you shooting for? No good answers, just food for thought when you make your purchase.
