You should be fine in almost all situations on the Eibach's. Just slow down on the ugly roads.
Depends on the size of the speedbump. Over here we have wide and low, wide and high and narrow and high. Speedbumps are probably no more than 3-4inches here from the center point (highest) but because of the long nose and your drop you'll likely scrape before your wheels touch the speedbump on the wide ones and maybe on the narrow ones. Best bet would be to get someone else to spot you while you go over them.

Just hope you don't catch one of those semi truck tire treads that fly off the rigs in summertime:-) Fiberglass has the neatest "crack" sound when it happens at 70 mph! Definitely good for at least a partial load in the shorts. It is helpful if you attach the lip so that it won't trash the nosepiece during a senior moment. I've gone to a chin spoiler that only is 1-1/2" deep. In fact, it's one of those goofy "M3 trunk lid spoilers" that doesn't fit like they advertise (go figure!). I just flipped it over and mounted it to the lower flat lip on the front valence panel with some sheet metal screws. Has an "old school" look to it and won't be affected by stupid, small animals. Keep it simple.
