Default DF210 drop help

i want to drop the gs on the DF210 springs from tanabe but im worried because i have a steep drvieway to get up. with the springs drop the car to much that i can drive it everyday over speed bumps sideways onr go in and out of steep parking lots? i was going to drop the car on the factory 17s then in the summer get some 20s can people also post pics so i can kinda get an idea as well. i seen the member flyguy comparing the springs with the nf210 but you really cant tell how low his car because its black and the shadow on the ground

Thanks bro for the help. I did a search and your car came up as having this spring setup. I think I should be good then if I can go sideways. Because I have to go to my job at the mall and inorder for me to get through I gave to go over big speed bumps. Then that driveway thing. I just don't want to get stuck with a car that can't go anywhere but looks good lol. I had air ride in my Honda so I didn't care but now I can't afford air ride or coilovers for the gs right now. I was going to put the springs on the factory shocks. Is that good I hear both good and bad and is confused
