Decided to lower it

Ok well after looking at pic after pic of lowered F bodies I decided that I wanna do the same thing to mine. Has more to do with looks than performance since I don't drive that fast anyways. But I have some questions first.

I'm considering the Eibach pro kit to lower it only about an inch. Anyone with this kit experienced any clearance problems with a stock exhaust setup?

Also what about tire rubbing. My car rubs more going to one side than the other. Will lowering it about an inch make it considerably worse?? Thanks for any replies.

P.S. I will be taking measurements before and after lowering to see if an adjustable panhard rod will be necessary.
