if they are adjustable coil overs..you shouldnt because if you lower too much you can always raise it. but if you have springs, and you are going for slammed i dont know but i think you should be ok as long as you buy a camber as well.

Are those the neuspeed springs that lower your car 2 or a little more inches? I don't believe you will have much of a clearance problem except you might experience some rubbing when driving and hitting a bump so I would go for something that it height adjustable.

you should be fine, the only time you might rub is when you are trying to turn up a driveway, and even that is doubt full
