If it's off enough you'll notice vibration from what I'm told or read. My 2/2 drop seems to be fine except for my rear bump stops really close to hitting so every bump feels like $hit. I told the shop to remove the bump stop from the bracket and mount it to the frame and trim off 1 nub if they needed to, but they did not listen to me. Make sure the shop that is doing your drop doesn't mess up your wheels with their air tools. You've got the SS wheels so that shouldn't be a problem but you never know. Some people are in too big of a hurry to care about your rims.

 

EDIT: Have the front end aligned because it will be off.
