Which Kit?

I've got an '03 SC and just wanted some advice on which kits are the best out there. Its got 20's with a 285/50/20 tire and I was thinking at the 3/4 drop but just dont know if that wil be too low. I drive it regularly and want a descent ride and the ability to occasionally haul things, although I usually use a small trailer anyway. I've been looking at the Belltech kits with the shocks as well as Ground Force. GF is a bit cheaper but like I said I want something descent Anyone running a 3/4 drop with the same size tire I have? Any rubbing or fender scraping around corners? Any driveshaft alignment issues? I know they come with the shims but any other problems out there?
Thanks in advance!!
Clint

OK I'm thinking about the 3/4 Belltech kit with the shocks. Anyone have this kit? Any problems with rubbing. Its either this or I'll just get the springs for the front and the lowering leafs for the rear. Would this be a better ride or is it worth the extra money?

that's a good kit. with that wide of tire you may rub at hard turns with the shims you should be fine as long as you have the correct ones

The rubbing concerns me a bit. The tires are about dead even with the outside lip of the wheelwell in the front. I think the back would be fine. Worst case I cguess I could put i the spring spacers.
