Default SN suspension suggestions

as of now my 95 is sitting at its stock "off road" height, i hate it. my friend has ford racing springs etc he's going to give me because he wants steeda springs etc. he has a 94 GT coupe, so i figure it will drop my car slightly further than his. his car currently has a hard time backing out of my driveway, the exhaust tips are less than 1/2 a CM away from the ground, and we put my cats on his car so he could go and pass the sniffer really quick and they scraped going down the driveway. all he has is the springs and struts, no control arms or anything, so i was curious what everyone would recommend i use, since i'm getting free springs.
i was thinking about going with some weightjackers since i have them on my fox and have had no probs with em. i heard from hack gt350 about some breaking but i dont know if those were old ones. when i ordered mine it took about 3 months because they were "re-designing" them and i got the newest ones. i need to be able to get my car in the driveway, so what do you guys think?

Just what i have on mine with 17x9 wheels. I have lakewood 90/10 up front...50/50 in rear. Eibach drag launch springs all the way around and southside lift bars. My car is pretty low and has a good stance..i just stay away from speed bumbs and going into driveway i have to cut it at an angle in order for it not to scrub.
