I'm doing the same thing. Veilside Version 1 lip, with Tein Springs.. it shouldn't be too bad since the lip doesn't really lower the car, and the car itself can handle over 1.5" drop on speed bumps according to other members and their drops.

I'm not worried..

I have S-Tech with the v1, very little if any scraping for me. I can go over general speed bumps without going in at an angle.

I have the V-1 and eibachs, only scrapes on really bad inclines (there is a hardee's near me that has a messed up parking lot that transitions into a crowned road, thats the only place I have scraped). Not on my driveway or speedbumps.

do you have to go sideways for every bump?
i think i going going with eibach then, but ppl mention it is too soft for hard turns, is the spring softer than stock?

I don't have to approach speed bumps at an angle.

I have the v1 with the nismo setup. No problems with speed bumps but when you come out of a shopping center or something like that and there is a steeper angle I do go at it from an angle.

Usually do not scrape but sometimes I do. Thats why I got mine in eurathane so I do not have to worry about it.
