It will affect how the bike feels during turn-in if you lower one end more than the other, because that affects the angle that the forks make with the ground.
For instance, lowering just the front makes the bike turn in quicker, but potentially squirrely at speed if lowered too much.
Lowering just the rear makes the bike slower to turn in, but more stable at speed.
If you lower both ends equally, the bike will handle the same as before, but like jiggles said, it will have less ground clearance and will drag things with less lean.
