FWD or RWD (or AWD), lift is lift. So by pushing the car down to the ground (or by reducing lift at the very least), it increases the force of traction the tires can "generate" going around a corner.
Of course, you want it to be balanced, front to rear, as well. So the look of a huge rear combat wing (like on the original WRX STis) without anything on the front is a bit ridiculous from an engineering perspective.
