cars keeps scraping what to do

So i had my 07 coupe for a while now and its been on tein comfort sport. At first the car cleared almost all speed bumps etc...now i notice that the front clears the rear clears but the middle of the car keeps on getting scrap. Any other option other than raising the car a little back up becuase i know my car isn't even slammed that low. The front is sitting on a little above the 19inch oem tires. the rear sits a little below the tires(where tires meets rims). btw what is scraping im assuming the y pipe...long term effect on this? btw came back form IRON MAN and its freaking sick as hell....check it out!

My G isn't lowered, but my past two cars have been. Driving a lowered car, driving habit will need extra cautions since the clearance isn't factory anymore. As for the Y-pipe, I don't think it'll break for a while, but over time its surface may just finally wear out or dent.

When going over bumps or steep surfaces, try going over it diagonally instead of straight. Other than that I can only suggest raising up the car a little bit.

Tire size will def help, get some bigger tires in the rear. I was on 275/30 scraping on lots of things in the rear and switched to 285/35 and I don't scrape on anything anymore.
