Question Which springs would work better?

Okay so I got new rims, however I have a lot of space.
From bumper to tires: 3in Front - 2and4/9 Rear.

I have to options, which would be better?

1. B&G Springs - 1.6" F - 1.4" R
2. Eibach Springs - 1.4" F - 1.1" R

My rims are 17 in, tires are 225/45 offset 40+
2003 Camry LE

Would both of these springs work or would they rub or what would happen?
Input needed pls.

H&R are 1.4F -1.3R
I want the 1.6 in front because i would really like to rid of most of the space. I know .2 of a difference is really not much but it's still something.
And i did some research (sorry) i just wanted some input on my own options.

I don't know of anyone that has used B&G at all on their Camry.

I have Eibachs, and i'm lowered 2" in the front and 1.4 rear but i also have a V6

Did you cut coils to get to 2" in front? My Eibachs lowered my front 1" and 1.4" in the back as Eibach states they would on an '07. '04 - 06 is like 1.6 front and back. Granted, the shop said they could remove a coil to drop the front a little more to make even with the back. I thought it was bad to cut coils, even dead coils, but they said one coil likely wouldn't negatively affect anything, and they do it a lot for BMWs and Mercedes because they sag in the back a lot too.
