i have neuspeed (f) 1.5 and (r) 1.75 i scrape alot with my cat-back tanabe exhuast. so i was thinking if i should change my springs to (f) 1.3 and what ever is above (r) 1.75 or should i just keep it cuz imma be getting some 17s. am i the only one scraping alot with my exhuast? i live in LA so lots of dips, holes, bumps, etc. oh and my car is more lower than my friend who got same drop but his is h&r. (i have no soundsystem). i be really thankful if u guys help me out
I drive a 03 si and I have a 1.5 drop on tiens. I scraped when I was rollin on stock wheels but when I plus sized to 17's It noticibly went down. Honestly If I where you I would go 1.5 on all four corners. I have a skunk2 full cat and the mid pipe is pretty fat (2.36 and hangs pretty low) but i rarely scrape and when I do its on the tip of the flange connecting to the mid pipe and the resonator. A good word of advise if you are still worried about scraping. Be careful, and hit driveways at an angle at a slow speed.

A a camber kit is unnecessary unless you have extreme camber probs, and or you just want the adjustability. Many peeps on this board would say that your set up is great. But wheter you are going for asthetics or performance it really does matter. You will want to drop all four corners equal for better performance. But for show purposes having the car perfectly level with no rake looks good with a body kit. But for my taste I tend to go with the performance end of the spectrum, and wouldnt dump my car for looks. The wheel gap on my car is about 1 finger. The drop looks good and is not to bouncy or to stiff. Alot like stock but with noticably improved handing. Its ultimately up to you at to what direction you wanna go.(Show or go)

of course your car is lower h&r's are only 1.3"
What size tires are you running?
I have a cheap exhaust so i dont really care if i scrape it or not. I'm slammed like 2.5" and if I dont angle i scrape but if i do, i usually dont have any problems.
BTW are you going to the topfuel meet this saturday?
