OEM 1LE Springs vs after market springs

I'm interested in lowering my stock 2014 1LE using the 1" drop BMR (or other brand) aftermarket springs front and rear.

Something like this: http://www.bmrsuspension.com/?page=p...&productid=836

I saw the thread about the staggered approach, but I'm concerned about front spoiler clearance, so the 1.4" drop seems like too much.

I assume the 1LE has stiffer spring rates than the SS, but I have not seen specific data.
Does anyone know how the stock 1LE springs compare?

My main concern is ride quality and comfort. I'd like to lower the vehicle, but still maintain as much comfort as possible (for a Camaro 1LE) as this is a daily driver and I'm trying to avoid complaints from my spouse on the rare occasion when we take my car for a ride.

Progressive rate springs are supposed to still be comfortable, but I have my doubts.

Any insight or recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks!
