Default KYB AGX w/H&R sport springs ride quality??

I just installed these on Saturday. I've noticed that everytime I hit a small bump or uneven road it would hit my header (Mugen replica). These are on a 00 Civic coupe. The fronts are at 2 and rears at 4 setting. Would making the fronts to 4 (the stiffest) reduce the scraping? I was just wondering thi because it supposedly gives a 1.75" drop. My fronts have one pinkie finger gap and 2 for the rear. I just wanna know how people with a lower ride bear to have this problem or have it at all. I mean mine isn't slammed to the ground and they are all new stuff. I'll try to get pictures later. Thanks

Adjusting your height is much more likely to fix your problem, rather than adjusting your damping. If you're scraping, raise the car up.

are u sure they are not the race springs and not the sport?

if u had coilovers u would able to adjust the height and avoid scraping. if u adjust the the shock to stiffer setting that will help a little because it will dampen quicker but i dont think your back will enjoy it.

Maybe it's the header, after all it is a moogen replica.

Sounds like they're racing springs though. hmmmm
