nothing, the offset is so high you could throw the thing on airbags and dump it till the chassis hit the ground.

you will be fine. Get a wheel alignment once done.

what you should consider is how it will effect your day to day driving experience.

Can you get over the big ass speed hump at work/shops
Can you get up/down your own driveway

I turned my ute into a undriveable garage ornament now as it's so low, but it does look good lol.

Shock absorbers need to be changed

Go to the VF section and look at people who've dropped their Redline's to get an idea of the clearance and look. Obviously they run the FE3 shocks but it won't really matter. Personally I would upgrade to a good mono body shock like Bilstein's (cost around $1100) but that's just me.

just thought the rear wheels being staggered it might of needed more work like having the guards rolled

The staggered wheel fitment is very safe and no different to slamming a VF Redline or any E series HSV (all HSVs are on staggered wheels) Actually VF redlines are 8 n 9s yeah? So there narrower then HSVs 8.5 n 9.5s so very safe

It's usually offset or ridiculously wide rims/tyres that would require rolling guards and or camber on the tyres to fit. As these are OEM rims with standard widths they'll always fit well within the tolerable ranges.
