    Only to your front Aero kit valance if you go over any speed bumps! Can't say for sure but you should be fine as the dampers should be able to cope with a reduction in the travel no probs - you may need to think about getting some "bump stops" to fit depending how low you go! these stop your suspension bottoming out completely and causing damage to your undercarriage/ suspension/ wheels! KJ was selling a set of springs recently - he should be able to help.
