Default different springs or stock exhaust?

right now i have pacesetter long tubes and tsp ory and eibach pro kit. the neighborhood hood i'll be moving to must have thought speed bumps were going out of style because there layed out about every hundred yards. so i scrape my exhaust, no matter what angle or speed i go over them. so should i put my stock exhaust back on for now or go back to stock height? is there a lowering spring that isn't as low? i want to eventually get a set of Stranos but the difference between the two heights wouldn't keep me from scraping. so i'm thinking my best bet for the time being would be to put my stock exhaust back on since the ory is what's scraping. thanks.

the exhaust isn't scraping really bad, but i have to crawl (like the speedo doesn't even register) over each bump which is very annoying, and i have a dd that i'll be using most of the time. sorry for the long post.

I'd go stock springs, or Koni's (if you get them) allow a drop of .75"/.5" (when used with the HH mod). Otherwise, I forgot the brand but there are 1" drop springs available.
