Eibach springs vs H&R springs

I just placed an order for the F.I CBE, and I'm wondering if the H&R springs are going to bring the vehicle too low and hit the canisters with speed

Default Eibach springs vs H&R springs

I just placed an order for the F.I CBE, and I'm wondering if the H&R springs are going to bring the vehicle too low and hit the canisters with speed bumps or something. Should I just go the safe route and buy the eibachs? any suggestions?

i heard that with H&rR and running tht exhaust will scrape, Eibach's would be the safer bet.

yeah you probably dont want to play around with the H&R's with that exhaust..speed bumps might snatch the cans..

You know, both set of springs vary by less than 1"....probably even .5". If you're going to hit/scrape your exhaust on something with one of them, you're most likely going to hit with the other.

i have a whole bunch of speed bumps in my complex

i had the eibachs on for like 2 months never really scraped a bump

put the H&R 's on and if i dont go slow enough my pipes scrape and i dont even have the low hanging F.I, that 1/2 " makes a big difference

FYI
