Clearance problems

Anyone else have problems with downpipes hitting the ground after slightly steep bump or pothole with H&R lowering springs or is it just me

Yes, also watch out going over the fill caps in the ground at gas stations. Ask me how I know. I have a good scrape in my JetHot coating.

Yes! Dips are a slow go and good to a avoid in the passenger chair.

Sometimes i scrape. Thats part of the fun of a lowered car with larger exhaust

It's the exhaust on the car. For some reason it sits like 2 inches lower than any other part of the car

Even with my stock suspension before my incident. Just going up and down Kentucky driveways, I could hear the scraping, terrible sound to hear from something that cost $1,400 at the time, I have empathy for you.

Lowered on BC coils and PPE downpipes. The lowest part of my car are the downpipes. They're ridiculously low. PPE sent me an email back that they had a bad batch made and I was probably one of them because they pull my hangers. Surprisingly never hit much, hit a pothole at a target parking lot which dented the front and also snagged the clamp on a dirt road.

My PPE's are snug and fit above the lower shield. Never hit them on anything. On H&R's and with the rear springs cut.

I got them from ebay before they started cracking down. About $25 a piece. You can find them on aliexpress about $17 shipped but of course you're going to be waiting a while. They worked fine for a full month of long distance driving and then one rattled loose and once I fixed that it was good again. Then my PTU went and after repair I get occasional p013a. Couldn't figure it out, something probably got damaged. Looks like yours are around the same height as mine, thought I was the only one. I wanted to lower the front a bit more but these things are already so close to the ground.

No downpipes., just H&R and Corsa exhaust. Scrapes on every bump unless I drive on a 45 degree angle over it.
