depends on your road conditions. obviously if you live somewhere with huge potholes and steep driveways, i wouldn't doubt that you'll be scraping up your exhaust.

I've only scrapped once and that was when I was back in my old home state of Mississippi. Driving over some jacked up roads there.

I have EiBachs btw.

Exhaust and springs, best bet IMO to start off.

there's always a threat of scraping, be it the front end or exhaust when you lower. The driveways here are pretty steep in some places, but if you know how to "crabwalk" (essentially, using an aggressive angle of attack on speed bumps, driveways, etc) your car, you'll be fine.
