Just be careful, I had a lip with sprints I didn't scrape or anything like that. Hell, one of my homies is tucking 19's with a stillen lip and the lip is in flawless condition.
i know i have been practicing.. stopping and parking, and going over potholes, railroads tracks and the such very very slowly. what is the finger gap in the front and rear.
there may be one problem i have tho. if u look at my sig, i have a house on a slight hill. my driveway is sort of the same. i may not be able to get in.
and with the stillen lip...ouch...

i'm so scared to get a kit cause of my sprints. Its not really driveways i am afraid of cause if it looks too scary, i'm not going in. Its pot holes and such when i'm driving fast.
As you can see, the lip is really close to the ground. You just have be careful and take it easy.
it's difficult, but like they said, just take it slow. i've scraped and bumped mine (i have h&r springs), but i admit that it was mainly carelessness. as said, be careful and take every harsh incline at a good angle and you'll be fine
well just like me, you might find going in and out of your driveway a pain when it scrapes each time. I eventually raised my lowered Integra due to the poor ride quality and scraping dangers.

ON the east coast you should be fine with that combo. Sprints will give you a 1 and half finger gap in the front. Your lip will have about five and a half finger gap to the ground.
You will be able to clear most speed bumps without going at an angle. I would just worry about entrance ways to gas stations and such. On the west coast they have some crazy building codes so all the driveways etc. are crazy steep.
The main thing you'll probably have to worry about is estimating how far you can pull up into a parking spot without hitting ur lip on the parking block, or curb. I folded my lip once while parking at 7-11. Left some scratches which I was ****ed about. I got over it though like you will too soon enough.
It's like owning a new pair of shoes and scuffing them for the first time. You're lip will eventually get scrapped but such is life. Moreover, the underside of your lip will definitely get scratched, but no one will ever see it so no biggie. Just giving you a heads up.
Another note, might want to be extra careful when it's really cold outside. Usually the stillen lip is pretty flexible and durable but not when it's frozen.

You will be happy with your lip cause it makes a huge statement to the front side of your car. If someone were to see you in their rearview they would be scared cause you look so mean.
