Default anyone lowered with SLP catted x?

so i have H&R lowering springs that i want to install but im worried that it will be too low. i daily drive my car and i dont want to make draging a daily occurrence. ive dragged once with the stock lift kit and the x. i knew the slp x would hang low when i bought it but i got such a good deal that i couldnt refuse. you can see in the picture that the coke can wont even fit under it, a coke can is about 4 and 3/4in tall. the lowering springs will drop it 1.6inches front and back which would give me less than 3in of clearance. what would you guys think, put them on or dont bother and get different springs?

Thats kinda low, I thought mine was low. You can try getting under there and readjusting it. You might be able to get it to sit a little higher. I did that with mine.
