    Would springs help me?

    Im been getting this very annoying problem after i got my mugen lip on my ek.
    The front bit is low and im scraping on speed humps at 25km and im only using stock sus.
    Its getting really annoying as it feels like the front springs are way too soft and im just wondering if get some kings springs or something it will fix it up. I know if i just drive slower i wont get this issue but sometimes when i don't see those speed humps at night its just hurts the hear those sound.
    any help will be nice
    cheers

    If you put superlow rears you wont scrape the front lip as much

    Yes,but the lip wouldnt scrape.

    Combining slowing down a bit more with a set of coilovers would probably solve the issue.

    Stiffer spring rates with better dampers is the way to go

    honestly dont waste your money on springs, save for coilovers.

    just slow the heck down, and zig zag if you have to.
    I don't even know anymore.

    putting low springs on won't help.. it'll make matters worse.. you're lowering your car.. therefore making your lip lower to the ground.

    Just drive slower, and go in diagonally. I know the horrid feeling of scraping your front bar/ lip.. it happened a bit in my old eg... not fun. but if you go slower, it'll make things easier.

    Aftermarket std height coils will help since the spring rate is higher, however if money is tight just wait until you can do it all right and do it once.

    Agrees just slow down. What ground clearance does your front lip have?

    I take speed humps at like 10km/hr

    1) lowering the car
    2) driving over speed hump in normal speed
    3) not able to afford a nicer suspension yet

    yea keep dreaming mate...
    speed humps are meant to slow u down
    so please slow down
