If you keep the amount of lowering to the limits that the stock system gives you, you'll be fine. Any more than that (aftermarket lowering bolts, for example) and the shocks will bottom out over big bumps/humps.

Because the F55 shocks don't depend on constant viscosity valving for their operation like standard shocks, they will maintain the same characteristics throughout their travel limits.
Standard shocks have the same travel limitations, but may have differing characteristics toward the end of travel than at the center.

I lowered my 2005 F55 with no problems at all. My brother-in-law has it in NJ now and loves it!!
Z51 sways, stock tires (but my b-in-law has PS2 ZPs on it now), Baer Eradispeed rotors (+2 on the rear).
BTW, lowered on stock bolts with the bushings cut on the rear bolts.
