Yes and no. It depends on how low you want to go, Its not bad but if the car is low, look into a anlignment. cause my vette is slammed and I love it but I need a anlignment to save tires. So It might be a good height for you or loosen the rear to go lower and tighten the front to go lower.

Jack up at the crossmember and loosen the rear bolt so only 1 1/2 threads show. Then drive and stop it hard. Will settle everything down. You could then see if you want to go any more.
