    iscrape

    but not in a good way... i just got new springs and im really not that low at all, but my exhaust hits every damn speedbump i go over. is this normal? can i do anything about it? its not really a scrape, more of a smash-up-the-bottom-of-the-exhaust... its really annoying since im not technically low enough to scrape. oh and my exhaust is stock btw

    I hardly ever scrape. Something doesn't seem right. Probably spring rates or you drive to fast over the speed bumps. Or you have tons of shit in your trunk.

      All exhaust hangars still intact? If so, don't go over speed bumps or live with it.

            I'm betting your exhaust hangers are shot causing your exhaust to hang lower and scrape.

            I used to scrape over speedbumps but that is because I was running long tube headers that hung lower.

                  Go around the bumps. My 318is is pretty low and the exhaust scrapes badly up front. I can't even make it over the average speed bump now, though.

                    ive come to the conclusion that its just select speedbumps... they must be taller.

                          did you use sport or lowering springs??? if so you need sport struts/shocks i had the same problem but changing them solved it

                            Tokico springs are decently stiff, that shouldnt be it UNLESS you blew one of the shit tockico shocks

                              I used to have the tociko matching suspension and I had to go so slow for my cat not to scrape especially with people in the car. Now I have IE 3s and koni yellows and I dont have to go nearly as slow. Either you have a hanger broken or you are still driving too fast for the bumps
