Default Body kit & lowering springs concerns

I deciding to put eibach pro kit or H&R lowering springs, with a body kit. Should I not put on the H&R springs cuz it gives a 1.4 in the front & 1.1 in the rear. I don' want to be scrapping the lip or the side skirts if i put on the H&R springs with that drop. Should I stick with the eibach pro kit?

Does H&R have the same part numbers for I6 and V8 models? The difference is likely negligible. At 1.4 and 1.1 the front will still have more arch gap than the rear so if somehow it managed to sag by a few mm it would be fine.
Whether your kit will scrape or not depends on how low it hangs and if you can drive without hitting things. No more driving head on into speedbumps and steep driveways. If you don't want to ever scrape on anything, leave the car stock, because that's why it's the height it is.
