H&R or Swift Springs?

I have the Fast Intentions exhaust and have been contemplating on the H&R's for a while now. I prefer the stance of the H&R springs compared to everything else, but

I have the Fast Intentions exhaust and have been contemplating on the H&R's for a while now. I prefer the stance of the H&R springs compared to everything else, but I just don't know if I will be scraping EVERYTIME I drive. Does anyone have pics of their FI exhaust + H&R/Swift springs in the rear? I'm pretty much dead set on the H&R's, but I just don't want to regret getting those after putting them on and scraping every time I hit a bump on the road or something. Thanks.

I have the fi exhaust with swift springs. I've on scraped the bottom of the canister once, but it was on a huge speedbump. I haven't had any other issue since. If you know how to drive a lowered car, you'll be fine

As I posted earlier, I've only scraped once on the mufflers. Sorry, but these are the only pics I have from the rear; one at the car wash, one at Import Face Off





I measured the lowest part of the muffler a few minutes ago. It sits about 3.75 to 4 inches from the ground

The pics look great! So far, I'm lookin at the H&R's just because I'm on a really tight budget, plus I love how aggressive the stance is, but would the FI cans scrape every time I drive? The drop that Swift offers look really good, but if I can drop it a little more, I would. Ideas?

I have the same issue, i really don't care about all these performance way better crap with swifts, i want the drop look so H&R is what I'am going for but I'm also getting the Fast Intentions exhaust. Did you find out what you were looking for? I'm guessing it wont be a problem because the FI is low in the rear and the Swifts or H&R both lower the same thing in the rear, the difference is the front.

Sorry for such a late reply! I've had my H&R's on for a few months now and I still don't think its dropped enough in the rear. Coilovers are def. the best way.
