I've put pacesetter longtubes+ ory on a 2001 WS6 and from what I hear as long as you don't go with the SLP longtubes you should be just fine. SLP's hang down pretty low.

DO NOT get slp's if ground clearance is a concerc. I have a 1" drop and slp long tubes and cannot even think about going over speed bumps. Kooks tuck up very nice. Just don't get slp's and you should be fine.

Do not get the SLPs if you are going to lower it. I have been wanting to do the same thing but already have the slp longtubes. I drag em all the time over speed bumps and have the stock springs. I can't imagine what it is like even with a 1" drop.

The best suspension setup can be pricey, how much of a budget do you have?
To me the natural choice up front would be an adjustable ride height kit like the Ground Control setup. It's about $225. You choose the spring rates and you can play around with the height as much as you want.
The Sportlines are real low and soft, so the front will bounce and allow the car to dip even lower when going over speed bumps.
