I have it and like it. I do scrape things occasionally (mostly my LT header flanges), but 90% of speedbumps aren't a problem if you drive carefully. The other 10% just slow down to like 5 mph and anticipate the scrape. Steep driveways can be rough on the chin spoiler if you don't take them at a good angle.

Some people will tell you that they are WAY to low making it sound like you are driving a nascar car or something. That's a bunch of BS.

They make the car look so much better and it takes some of the mushiness out of the handling. You'll want caster camber plates tho to correct the alignment. New shocks/struts, a steeda bumpsteer kit, and steeda x2 balljoints are recommended as well but not required.

It's really not that bad. They do drop a little more than the stated 1.5" but not by much.

You can, but the ride will be awful. If you lower your car with springs, then you better get new shocks/struts too.

Don't get anything cheap like the Tokico Blues or the KYB AGX's. I got the Tokico Blues and the ride sucks. Get something better like the D-Specs or Bilsteins. They cost more but you'll thank yourself later.

You for sure want the Steeda bump steer kit and the Steeda ball joints. Don't bother with the CC plates though. I didn't get CC plates and I've never had a problem. My car is a convertible with a extra 300 lbs too.
