Raise front height?
Are you sure there's no way around the speed bumps? I hate to see anyone who uses their car for driving events muck with their setup for stuff like speed bumps.
My car hits speed bumps depending on how big they are and how I approach them. I kind of approach at an angle and try to go slow when I descend off of them. I bottom out once in a while.. maybe I should be more concerned, lol

To complicate things even more, I'm rubbing on one of the ramps at the office and haven't found the intestinal fortitude to attempt either of the other three ramps into the garage (steep grade).
In the event anyone is interested in the before and after (after spring install) ride height readings, here you go:
Before:
Front: Driver side = 27.75" Passenger side = 27.75"
Rear: Driver side = 28.00" Passenger side = 27.75"
After:
Front: Driver side = 26.90" (less 0.85") Passenger side = 26.90" (less 0.85").
Rear: Driver side = 26.65" (less 1.35") Passenger side = 26.50" (less 1.25").
Looks like I got every bit of the advertised 1.25" in the rear. The fronts were a consistent 0.85" so there may be a little more settling to come.
Will post updated measurements once I get the spacers installed on the front and the rear.

Update:
Installed 0.50" spacers in the front and 1" coil spring spacers in the rear. The exhaust rubbing issues have improved greatly -- I can finally get around my condo complex!
Here's the measured ride heights:
Front: Driver side = 27.55" Passenger side = 27.55" (net 0.20" drop with springs on both sides)
Rear: Driver side = 27.45" (net 0.55" drop) Passenger side = 27.75" (net no drop).
I'm guessing I still have a little settling to do.
