Default Will this be to low?

I have pacesetter long tube headers and SLP Loudmouth II exhaust, when looking at my car from the side, you can see them hanging a little lower than the car, would the Eibach Sportlines be to much to lower it? SHould i go with the pro kit?

What i really want is a racked look, i want to get BMR 1" springs in the back, then find someone who will sell me just the front sportline springs, my buddy has that on his car, and its rides awesome, and looks good, hardly ever scrapes anything.

I agree, they sit way high, i park mine by my buddies that is dropped 2.3" all around, i look like a freakin truck, but i think that with the whole issue that i am having, that if i just lower the front 2" and the back 1" then i wont have to really worry to much about my muffler thats hanging there.

Now with my car lowered like this, will the 17x11 wheels in the back or 17x9.5 in the front rub?
