I put some on. They work great and didn't effect handling too much. Need to make sure the air in the shocks are up a little.

Just be aware that almost all of the lowering kits are for use on STOCK suspensions ONLY. If you have aftermarket shocks or plan to add them later 99% of these kits will not work. Been there, done it....

I've had a similar set on my 06 and have had zero issues with it.

I have them on the middle setting. No problems at all. However, on the lowest setting, I think it may be too low causing the tire to rub wiring in the fender. It looks awesome fully dropped, but not worth the possible electrical issues.
