Well I bought the bbk springs and put them in and they weren't low enough. So I ended up cutting my factory springs, it still rides good and handles much better. I took 1 3/4 coils off the front springs and 1 1/4 coils off the back. With my stock midpipe the only thing I scrape are the cats, i'll see if my headers scrape when I get them on, along with my o/r x-pipe. Hope this helps!

I have eibach prokit springs which gave me about 1.5 inches of drop all around... I don't really have any issues, it was by far the best mod I did for my car... the only problems I run into is scraping my cats over these giant speedbumps they put outside one of the buildings at my school.... and sometimes scraping the chin spoiler pulling in and out of steep driveways.

IMO i'd say just get sport (1-1.5) springs now... it'll give you a much better ride/feel... and you won't be so low that you'd scrape every little bump in the road.

i've got H&R race springs w/ KYB AGX shocks &struts. The ride if fairly harsh for a daily driver. It handles very well. I was told they were the next step b4 coil-overs, and i think that's about right. It scrapes on some bumps, but i'll put that off on the longtubes. Stock manifols and midpipe shouldn't be a problem
