The Eibach sportlines drop almost 2 inches, passed that you will have to do modifications. You will also have a hard time finding places that do alignment. You will have to change driving habits, and there are some places you will just not be able to go.. BIG speed bumps and such.
About the exhaust, refer to

As long as you stay away from SLP LT, clearance should stay close to stock.

If you want acceleration / traction then dropping is not
going to help you at all. This is a rear wheel drive car,
you -want- weight transfer. Big drop without fixing the
rear end link geometry errors it will produce, is just a
Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement with maybe some
of cornering benefit.

I have the sportlines.. no problems so far, the only thing is the nose on our cars ar very long and you have to be careful of that, other cars produced by gm, aka vettes have small moses which allow them to be very low without consequences to the front end
