According to Koni North America their shocks are able to withstand any drop height. Unlike a lot of different shocks which can only go so low. Also, Konis come with a lifetime warranty so other than normal shock wear and tear, if anything goes wrong they'll replace it. The hardest part of it was to find the stock shocks since I didn't want to use my stock ones straight off the car. Cutting and drilling aren't all that hard.
kybs does state that it voids the warranty if the vehicle is lowered more than 1.5 inches from stock height.
With that said, i'm riding on eibachs with kybs and the ride suits my needs. No complaints here.
