i've gone through the same problem. i've got h&r springs and the lip. i recommend what the other guy said, take all steep inclines at an angle and VERY slowly and you'll be fine. i've had my lip a little over 2 months and have already scraped the bottom.

I have sprints and a lip, and I haven't scraped once. I fly over speedhumps, and dips, and everything is fine.

I was Thinking about switching to Sprints to get rid of that gap from the Eibach. Would it be worth it after scraping? Is the drop from the sprints noticeable compared to the Eibachs?

Maximas have really long overhangs, so you have to minimize them by going at an angle. Never drive straight up something steep or with a dip in it. And drive slowly, sometimes if the car bounces while you're going over, you'll hit.
I have a Sarona kit and the car is dropped about 3.5" on ground controls so the front sits about 3" off the ground. The car is driven daily, and I've only hit it once in the last 6 weeks since I got my front bumper fixed. Incidentally, I did shatter the bumper once leaving a gas station, those are the worst. It's like they intentionally make them steep and rutted or something.

I was considering Ground Controls but I heard the ride is harsh. How do you rate the ride? And how long dose it take you to adjust the hieght?

The ride is pretty bad, but a lot of that is attributable to the Tokico shocks. When I get the KYB AGX, the ride should improve quite a bit. It takes me about 25 minutes to adjust all 4 corners, and most of that time is spent jacking up my car. My car is very low so it's hard to get the jack underneath it.
