Ground Control + Konis is another but more expensive solution. I don't see how front only adjustables are a good way to go.

You can still corner weight with just the front being adjustable.. I have the TCKline/Koni DA coilovers and I choose not to use their rear height adjuster to get more drop on the rear.

If you know you only want 1.5" inches of drop, and that kit gives you that amount of drop I don't see why it would cause a problem.

4 wheel adjustability is really for people that want to drop the car for the track, and then raise all 4 corners back up after the track.
