general feeling is use them if your 30mm or more lowered.

If you start getting vibration when shifting down through the gears then get some otherwise you'll be ok. There is a sticky in the US forum with a lot of discussion around the topic. Have a read here:

I reckon you'll be alright with that, mine was on 30 something when I lowered it a year and a half ago and hasn't been a problem so far.
