H&R or Swift Springs?

If you go FI exhaust you probably won't want to drop any more than the H&Rs. Mine hits under aggressive mountain runs and I'm on H&Rs.

It might be your springs? Most say you have 1.5" clearance to drop before you run into issues on the 2nd gen FI exhaust. The swifts are 1" in the rear. Tein's or Eibach Sportline would be too low.

1.5" is not much clearance when you are pushing the car hard on the street. Just my
