I'm lowered 1.3" with the Eibach ProKit with 17" wheels w/o any issues. You'll be fine. The BMR springs drop 1" and and you've got a taller wheel/tire than me.

If you are lowered 2" it will be very low. Mine is a 1.5" drop and mine was low enough I got pulled over for my exhaust being to low and dumping. I took it to the exhaust shop and had it raised up as much as possible (still pretty low) and ran out the back.
Most importantly you can't beat the sound of duals.

I had no issues w/Eibach Pro springs & 2.5 in true duals out the back until the 9" rear went in as the axel tubes are alot bigger. On compression the axel was hitting the left pipe where it goes up from the center of the car over the axel. Solution was stock springs. The sound is worth it, IMO.

I use Sweet Thunder 18" stainless mufflers. Much better clearance than my old Dynomax Bullets.

I run 3" tsp true duals with eibach sportlines that lower my car 1.7".....

Its like 2 or 3 inches off the ground at the lowest point it really dont bother me that much I scrape every once a while but hardly ever, you just gotta now how take dips and bumps...but if I have people sittin in the backseats then thats a whole different story, I start scrapin everywhere thats why no one else rides with me cept for a passenger
