Default Eibach lowering springs

I am thinking of having eibach springs installed in my 99 ws6, but I am concerned about bottoming my car out. I live in Florida so it is quite flat and the roads are pretty good where I am at.
I am undecided as to wether I should get the sportlines or the pro-kit.
I really like the way ws6 cars look sitting low.
I would like to hear your input on this.

30th, i have eibach sportlines on my 99 formula and i find that i like them less and less because i have mid length headers and every driveway, bump in the road and speed bump i almost scrap or get close to... i have hit a couple of times pretty hard, reluctantly nothing has been seriously damaged but as soon as i get back from iraq... i am putting on coil overs that i bought for front and rears. i recommend that is u just want lower springs then go with the pro kit as you will visabily see the drop, and notice in the handle has improved, but won't feel it so much over the speed bumps, etc... sorry i don't have a pic to show you how low i am... but let me say that i have 3/4" of clearance with my car from the headers. rest of the car has about 2 inches but headers greatly reduce that clearance... i honestly love how the sportlines feel, but they are not worth all the scraps and heartache. which is why since i have money to spend i bought the adjustable coil overs so i can adjust my ride height to what suites me. hope this helps you in what you choose.
