parking markers v.s. a dropped cls

Im thinking bout getting the HR sport springs.
Am i gonna be scrapping my front bumper with parking markers at shopping centers? Our cars r a bit long. Is there a problem with the car sticking out of a parking space to clear the f. bumper? Is it gonna stick out bad??
Hows the ride quality compared to stock?
Thanks

Ha! ^__^ I got these Intrax Springs on a 2.0 F and 1.75 R! I made the mistake and understimated and SCRAPE! Just be careful. I have a magnaflow and these 2 screws (lowest part of the car) always scape something... I'm in San Francisco. Yes our cars a bit long but still love my Acura! About your car sticking out; Guess we have to live with it. Stick out bad? Nah! not really. Ride quality? Bumpy.

Anyways. Enjoy your drop when u get it. God bless.

x2.

I have coilovers and I'm dropped about 2.5" and IF I pull up I will hit them, but like he said, if you stop before them there is still plenty of room.

Your in Miami, & the drop isn't excessive. You will be fine. The bumper shouldn't hit anything, however the plastic cover under the front has a little lip & will hit if you pull in too much(like tires touching the parking curb)
I never pull up to them anyway. I stop with my bumper in front of the parking curb.

General practices need to be followed as with any lowered car.(speed bumps, driveways etc)

That's what I have. Just don't pull all the way up to them. That's what I do. It's fine.

yeah learn from experience you never need to pull all the way up on the parking barricade. You'll get your bumper nearly ripped off. Watch out for major dips and speed bumps and you should be fine.

The car is a boat, but more like a dingy. Even if you're a foot away from the barracade, you won't stick out of the space. That's not low enough of a drop to really worry about too much. But here's the thing. Once you lower your car, DO NOT let anyone that's NEVER driven a lower'd car drive yours. They WILL go up on the curb. It's happened to me.
