Default Spring delima...please help me decide!!!

So i have a few questions for those of you who have H&R springs.

i have a 2003 GT, which is my daily driver (unfortunately), with 18" bullitts, 10" deep dish with 295/35 in back and 9" with 255/35 in front.

i was planning on going with the super sports, but now am thinking twice about it. Do you think i would be better of with the race springs?

i have also been told that if i plan on one day going with long tube headers that the super sports would not be my best bet.

i would like the car to be as low as possible without scraping on everything.
if i go with the race springs which isos should i remove to get the best look possible?

The other question i have for you is will i need to roll my fenders? How many of you have done this to your own?

well i have the sportlines and they ride pretty rough but i like them. i have heard that the h&r race springs are similiar but better so you should like them. and you will prob need to roll your fenders because i am doin that this weeknd. my tires are starting to get pretty tore up. eduardo sent me this link check it out.

Are you running slicks or sumthing?^^I thought there was no need for fenderolling on the new edges if you only have those rims in your sig.

Yea I have heard of that tool as well, and have been thinking about renting it from someone. I have heard only good things about it so far.

Sorry if i didnt make it clear but, I would still like to go with the super sports because I am not really wanting the rough ride I would get with the race springs. I just didnt know if it would be too much of a drop for it being driven alot. Do you think if i roll my fenders I will still be alright for it to be my daily driver, or should i go with something that has a little less of a drop?

Redfire, what size wheels and tires are you running? I already have some minor cutting on my tires from my fenders, which is why I'm concerned.
