Default Would this be too low?

If I were to put lowering springs (~1 inch) and a cdc classic chin spoiler on, would I have lots of ground clearance issues? Or is that still relatively high. I currently drive a 1997 Camaro, and I don't want my next car to scrape over everything like the Camaro does. This would be on a V6, if it matters. Also, what is a good lowering spring to get? I test drove a 'stang and I was happy that it didn't crash over bumps, and that I couldn't feel every single imperfection in the road. Are there any lowering springs that maintain stock (or very near stock) ride quality?

Thanks for the help,
Frank

I am lowered 1.25 in the front and I have no problems, however I don't have the chin spoiler yet.

How's the ride? Is it harsh, or about normal? What brand did you use?

You will not have speed bumps problems unless they are bad ones but inclines will be a problem sometimes. I haveFRPP springs and it dropped it almost 2" and I think theride quality is still fine.
