Need Help! suspension! PLEASE!!!

I have a 2k1 LX coupe and have recently put Konig Verdicts on. (18"x7.5" and 215/35/18 tires) 45mm offset

What I need to know is this. I would prefer to go with springs and I am contimplating (sp?) the pro-kit or sportlines. I think the pro-kit might still look too high and I am affraid if I go sportlines, my new rims might rub and then I will be screwed!

Is there any way to know, or a place that could tell me if I would run into any probs with either of these springs? I really want a drop more than 1" but I don't want problems. My other option is to go with coilovers and then I can adjust them, but If I do it I want it to be done right the first time and get higher end products which costs a lot of $$$ like Ground control or something.

Please help me and tell me what I should do!!!

(for now I would also like to keep my stock shocks and not really have to worry about camber because of all the extra $$$)

Sorry for the long post but I am about to go insane (more than I am already)

go with the sportlines. my 18's didn't rub with a 2" drop. as long as the offset of the rims are ok, they shouldn't rub.

Have a 2"Progress drop with 17z with 205/40/17. I have a 1 finger gap in the front between fender and rim, & is perfectly level with the fender in back( with no rear passengers). With passengers it tucks a little.. I haven't gotten my camber kit installed, which is in my favor because when I do it will bring the top of the tire closer to my fender and possibly rub. My install guy told me he would shave the fender a little for me during the install....
