My exhaust will scrape over speed bumps. I'm stock ride height too. I think its the cat near the front. That bottom heat shield plate is what scrapes.

I scrape on many more places now since putting on the aero, I want to lower the rear some more, but there will be more clearance issues if I do. Currently I have many roads and parking lots that I cannot use/enter due to ride height. My downpipe hangs super low, it used to be the lowest point on the car, but over time it has been dented in enough that it doesn't scrape that much.The flanges on the muffler hit everything, going to have the flanges cut off and weld the muffler together later this year. I'd say if your lowered the muffler (if its 75mm or bigger) will hit in the rearwhere it goes under the rear subframe around the exhaust flange usually. thats been my worst spot now.



Anyways this is a before paint picture (so be nice), I'm still working out some body work and final color issues as well. Believe it or not the front of the sidesteps hit more than the front bumper in most occasions. Front could go up a bit more for clearance issues but the car isn't daily driven everyday anymore, mainly for track use and occasional spirited driving on weekends.

Lowered stock... it's your frame rails, most likely the protective covers and the center cat. I had to remove my Eibachs after moving into my new place with a steep driveway. It's always the rails and the cat for me even if I slowly enter angled.

I scrape like hell - my front lip, side of the front bumper, sideskirts, and my midpipe! But eventually I learned the ricer technique of going angled while keeping the contact of the wheels on the ground at the highest point
