Plenty here have done it. Are you going to lower the car?

From my experience with it lowered, I have to run a 25 series profile in the rear. I rubbed a lot over dips in the road based on the H&R springs light compression rating. I added some coil spacers that are designed to increase compression, and now I only rub very slightly on really large dips at high speeds. More than worth it for the looks.
