You can generalize for most of the people on the racing forum?
Position tweaking is generally a good idea. However, lowering your stem also might hinder your breathing and it takes time for your body to adapt to a new position, i.e. flexibility, power generation, etc. I'd stay away from blindly recommending stem and saddle adjustments.
