Lowering Springs with Long tubes?

ANyone have any thoughts about Eibach or other springs with headers? I have Hooker long tube headers. I rub them sometimes depending on where I go, but I still want aftermarket springs. I heard they make 1 inch drop springs, think those will make a HUGE difference in clearance issues? ANY thoughts would be appreciated...

If you're already hitting them, that one inch drop is just going to make it worse.

i dont bump them around town, speed bumps are even ok, uneven pavement is bad but I guess it could be bad for anyone. And dirt roads are sometimes a hassel, but my daily driving I dont notice any clearance issues.

I have long tubes with bmr springs and the only things ive bottomed out on were speed bumps. The car may sit lower but doesn't give very much with the stiffer springs.
