Lip height.

Been searching around for a few hours and still am wondering with the H&R sport springs does anyone know the measurements from the lip to the ground? I have it narrowed between the SSC or the H&R Sports but not wanting to totally destroy my lip/intercooler with these West Virginia pot holes. Any suggestions or advice is appreciated. But I want to stay away from sportlines (had them on my old LT) and pedders doesn't have the amount of drop I am looking for.

Not a huge know it all on springs but from pics and reading the h and r's look pretty low, ssc's are pretty low to but I don't think as low as the h and r. I just got cm springs which are ssc springs but straight from the source.

if you're worried about potholes causing you to take out your lip i'd be worried about ripping a damn wheel off!
