Body kit with H&R Sports

I'm assuming that this is a nice setup. I have H&R sport springs on my car and am wondering what would happen if I put the body kit on. Some of you that have this setup, do you have any problems driving over speed bumps or taking on ramps? How about pot holes? Is the problem just at the front, or everywhere meaning front middle and back?
I decided on the body kit after debating on getting headers.

i have h&r sport springs with the oem body kit. i havent taken any pictures of it yet so i can not show you how bad ass this looks. the only part that is low is the front. yes it goes over speed bump at slow speeds. as far as ramps you take them at an angle. it is no different than the 98 firebird i traded in on my tl as far as the front and needing to take angles on certain driveways. body kit looked terrible without the sport springs. i was originally pissed about the cost versus the look until the spring swap out. now i am thrilled with the look and get tons of compliments on a weekly basis. if you dont have the spoiler you need to get that too. also some big ass stainless steel performance mufflers totally make the look and no they dont come close to the rear addon body kit part either. the acura installer questioned the distance on mine and it wasn't even close which is what i told them. like for 1200 dollars just put the damn things on.

That looks real good. Are those H&R sports or OE's?

i have OEM body kit with H&R sport springs...looks great! and the clearance is fine, its low, but not too low. it goes over speed bumps fine at an angle, and both the front and back are high enough to clear those lil concrete blocks and curbs when you park your car.

I used to have H&R sports on my Civic Si and it dropped a little bit more after a month or so, but after about a year, it got really stiff. I ended up changing the Tokico HD shocks for the Illuminas to compensate the ride. It was all good after that.
