HFP Exhaust Scrapes .. Suggestions?

Hey guys,

I have a 2007 Honda Fit Sport w/ an HFP exhaust (bought the car used, came with the exhaust).

My problem is that when I have a full car (and even sometimes when it's just me), the exhaust will scrape on bumps on the road. I'm not talking speed bumps, im talking about driving down the freeway or the street and there's a quick bump or decline, the exhaust will scrape.

Does anyone else have this issue?

Does anyone know of any springs I can buy that would stiffen up the suspension on the car (not looking to spend the $$ on coilovers).

Thanks for all the help.

Never had problems with scraping my HFP when I had it and I was lowered.
Anyway, read the link for some solutions:

yah, we are talking about costamesa, CA correct? their dips and humps on the roads are as bad as potholes of the midwest.

so that might be why a lot of folks haven't scraped their HPF yet even while their car is lowered.
