Default 4 cylinder front springs

I've been wanting to lower the front end of my car for a while now, and I've noticed some people are running these springs. Does anyone know if I will have any severe rubbing problems If I swapped on a set of these springs. I am running 1997 Cobra wheels, w/ 245/45/17 Falken FK451's.

Thanks,
Cameron

I could be wrong, but I dont think those springs are used to lower cars. They are more for weight distribution in a drag type application.

Yes they are used for drag weight distribution, but on top of that they do lower the car. I'm not looking for corner carving springs, just make it sit good and hook better out of the hole.
