Default H&R Springs with FI Exhaust

Anyone sitting on H&R springs and have a Fast Intentions Exhaust? Wondering if I'll have can scraping issues once I install a new exhaust. My camber is stock, Im sitting on 19" and have 275/30/19 in the back and 245/35/19 in the front.

The FI exhaust sits higher than the HKS exhaust. I had H&R springs and the HKS exhaust for a bit. It would only scrape on the flange every once in awhile. You will be fine.

Weird. My FI exhaust sits lower than my HKS did. However, I have an original FI exhaust I bought off Jnaunt. Fast Intentions has since then modified it for more clearance but I'm not sure how much higher it sits now. I'm on swift springs and never scraped with HKS or FI exhausts.

Heres my current exhaust with swift springs.



Here was my previous setup with HKS exhaust.

I can see that the FI sits lower and I am sure it looks damn good. I have FI arriving and waiting to get lowered. This said, I know I will have to be careful when my FI arrives to keep it from scraping. Not to far away.....55 days.

Yours will sit higher than mine because you'll have the newer version.

I have the new FI exhaust and I am dropped on Eibach. My car sits lower than 0.8 in drop Eibach advertised because mine is a roadster... So far it's about 1.2 in drop. I scraped my front air dam all the time, but have not scraped the F.I. exhaust yet...(cross my fingers)
