if what you want is a great sports touring car (assuming you mean something that drives great but is comfortable to ride in on a daily basis or over long distances) you already own that. if you are looking to do some time attack. add a bigger oil cooler, grippier tires, better brake pads, thicker sway bars, and get on a track. you don't need a body kit to achieve either one.

now if you are going for a certain look and want to also be able to tell folks that it isn't just for looks, then the Nismo and Amuse kits claim improved downforce, and have been tested. Although, there is a thread floating around that at least from a theoretical standpoint claims that the Nismo kit doesn't much if any improvement at speeds. Note the use of the word claim in the last couple of sentences, very little substance there imho. If anything I'd be inclined to believe the fact that they in fact do jack diddly.

let's just say they are untested, so as not to come to an incorrect conclusion. but likely, yes, the majority are just for looks. i even have doubts regarding the nismo and amuse kits, unless you do some addons like bullitt posted. then again, i tend to be pretty cynical if i don't get to see the numbers.

also following that same train of though, i wonder if the nismo kit is adding much value, or if the sideblades and diffusers are doing all the work. i know the nismo front has a bit lower drag coefficient IIRC, but other than that are you gaining much? bullitt, thoughts?
