So I got out there and measured today. My exhaust clears the ground by about 3.25" without anyone or any stuff in the car. Does this sound like what it should be? My exhaust seems to be angled kinda funny but I've never really looked sideways under anyone else's stang before so maybe it is right. The tallest speed bump entering my apartment complex is roughly 2", it looks as though my fears may have been confirmed.

You prob could (just take her easy over the bumps) with lowering your car 1 & 1/3 to 1/4 or less and still be okay.

^^If you don't angle over them right, even taking it "easy" or slow will do nothing for him...he will scrape.

If you don't have room to angle, like if it's a narrow entrance, then you can either deal with scraping, or don't lower it.

As far as performance springs that don't lower the car....I have no clue. I've never seen someone wanting performance out of a stock ride height.

try these with the lowering springs, they will raise the car a bit more than stock isolators, around a 1/2 inch more.
