when you say "issues/problems" what exactly do you mean? im sure a 1' drop of lowering springs cant really cause any kind of issue

you have to be fairly slammed to start seeing those type of issues. with just lowering springs you arent any where near that realm yet. you should be fine

most lowering springs are about a 1" extreme max 1.5" almost. thats not super dropped at all, at least not in the sense of tearing axle boots or anything

Been about 10k miles for me on my AWD 2011 IS250. I'm also on H&R springs.. so far so good and it dropped evenly (front/back) about 1.5".
