Does aero kit + (NM or TSW springs) = scrubbing of the aero kit

Hello MC Community,

I need some help, I'm looking to lower my MCS and it has the aero kit and sport package. If I lower my MCS using NM or TSW springs will I scrap the front or sides of the aero kit? I know there's always a possibility of scrapping no matter what and i understand that part, but i don't want to make it a regular occurrence. I'm not looking for an aggressive drop, but something to reduce the wheel gap, better ride and for appearances. I'm planning to stay with 17's, if that makes a difference.

Also, Is there an advantage of having the front sit lower then the rear (TSW 1 inch front and .75 rear) opposed to the NM (1.2 inch drop front and rear)? Maybe for the track, but I'm not tracking my MCS.

If anyone has pics of MC with the aero package lowered on 17's they could post it would be awesome.

Thanks in advance ...

I don't have the Aero kit, but I do have the NM springs and m7 splitter on my MCS. The only thing I occasionally scrape is the front air dam. It sticks down ~2" lower then the splitter. However, parking curbs are to be approached with caution! Hope this was some help.
