Default Problems Lowering w/F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control?

I'm thinking of lowering my '03 cpe on the stock bolts but want to know if anyone has heard of any problems or conflicts occuring when doing this with the F55 suspension?

FWIW, lowered mine with F45. Ran it like that for 3 weeks without any issues. Raised it back up about 1/2 way only because I was scraping the front air-dam too much.

If you are staying on stock bolts you should be OK

I pulled my F55 and put in Bilstein Sports. Cut front bushings and put in longer rear bolts.......along with a few other mods
