Minor things:
*Front fender trim around edge of fenders will rub when turning on inclines. Just remove them imo..

*Front UCA bottom out on dips/bumps. This used to always make me cringe haha

* Scraping on just about everything

*Inner fender splash guards will probably get chewed up from tires over time. Contrary to popular belief they actually do a nice job of keeping dirt/water off your fog light sockets and side markers.. Remove if you like..

Not So Minor:
*Lower Ball Joints stressed

*Outer Tie Rod Ends stressed

*Heavy tire wear ( especially without an alignment after initial installation)

I know this is all pretty redundant information. Personally, I decided to raise my ride height up after about a year. I got sick of tearing up my previously mint condition car. Static slam is a pay to play ordeal, so just be prepared for some wear and tear.

Sorry for ranting
