Thumbs up Espelir spings and AP1 front lip

I am thinking about getting the espelir ADS, the Eibach or the Swift springs. If I do the espelir springs and I have the front lip will my car be to low and I'll be dorking up my front lip all over the place.

Can anyone comment who has the AP1 or AP2 OEM front lip and these springs.

Also feel free to comment on any of the springs above. They all seem to get good feedback. I mostly drag race 1/4 and my goal is to eliminate wheel hop. Other mods are list below.

It's going to be pretty damn low. When I had this combo I had to tip-toe up every bump and driveway.

With my espelirs, front lip, and splitter I have a 3-4 inch clearence in the front. You'll eventually mess up the lip whether its a speedbump or crappy road.

Yo, whenever you lower you need to be careful, just know that you will look better than most when you scrape!
