Ihave the tubular LCA and UCA with about a 2" drop from the stock spring. I have scrapped like once or twice in the 2+ years I've had them installed. Yes the alignment will be off and you may have to install longer studs for the uppers.
However, I think they improve the handling a bit since they somewhat improve the geometry. It levels the LCA and gives you a better ball joint angle.

I can't remember if I had my 15" rims installed with the DJM LCAs or not, but I can't think of why they wouldn't fit.
