You are probably looking at pictures of cars on air suspension laying frame while parked, but there's no way they drive like that. You are past the point of functionality as low as you are, no wonder you scrape like a ****. You will either need to add airbags to your set up or you need to raise your car to be able to drive it effectively.

I guess there is such a thing as being "too low" ! I am impressed that you drive around like that. A coke can in the street will flip your car! Keep us posted as to what you do. Cool pics.

Those cars only drive very specified routes where they know they can make it, the cars are almost never daily drivers. And if they daily drive them, ... they put up with a ton of crap for no reason.

I raised my car back up and don't plan on going nearly as low when I finish my coils install. It was fun being low, but it's nowhere near worth the headache of scrapping and getting stuck on everything...

im about as low as you. But as xet said, most of us have a specific route we take daily. I usually save the headache and just park on the street and walk it.

Pretty much what Xet and Big said. Stiffer springs are also very helpful, but nothing's going to completely eliminate scrapping/dragging at that height. You learn to get over it or you raise it (or some combination of them).

If you do want to stay that low get in touch with Toolboothwilly for some of his aluminum underplates and have replacement bushings and ball joints on hand, yours will be destroyed in a couple months at those suspension angles.

Like Xet and OBsessed said. I'm that low...well...I was up until yesterday. lol. It's overly annoying. I mean, it's livable but not worth it. However, my car is in no way shape or form a daily. Not even close.
