Default H & R springs

Is anyone running these springs and if so, does it make the Z too low?

That looks tough at that height!

I'm almost sold on these springs but are you sure you don't have problems with scraping or bottoming out? Also, do you need to take speed bumps at angles to avoid scraping your exhaust?

Thanks for replying.

if you have your stock bumper youdont have to worry about scraping. if you put a bodykit on it you will have to worry about scraping no matter what springs or how much you lower your car. and i have never scraped my exhaust. the front is where you need to watch out. i never have any problem in the rear.

the ride is a little more stiffer than stock but no big deal. it lowers the car 1.5" and everytime you lower or mess w/ the suspension you should align the car.

I'm looking at doing the same to my ride and was wondering where you got your rims. The best price I've seen is here:

... but they don't have a wheel and tire combo. I'd like to order something that's mounted and balanced already. Thanks for the help. -Lee
