I'm coming from a pretty low integra, so with the G, it feels pretty high off the ground.. just take those steeps slower and angled.

I'd have to say that the G seems less likely to scrape then my Prelude with stock suspension. Doesn't seem like it should be much of an issue.. unless, like others have said, your city/streets have some oddly high curbs.

Where do you live, OP? Seems weird that you're scraping so much at stock height..... I'm 3" off the ground and only scrape on steep driveways.

If I DON'T scrape once a day I'm surprised.

OP,
If your talking about something metal that you can put on the bottom of your car, that would be a bad idea. You'll just end up scraping more and possibly damaging more parts under the car. Just go SLOW and go at an angle. I bet 100% of us G owners have scraped atleast once on a driveway/speedbump, etc.

If you're really **** about scraping, carry 2x4's in your trunk and use them as on/off ramps.

Im slammed on tein flex coils with the rear spring mount mod also... I don't really scrape but I know i can't go certain places or have to find another way around... mainly just speed bumps n stuff... How ur scraping on a stock suspension is mind boggling... Are u taking it slow on speed bumps or taking em on like a BMX stunter?

The G is already pretty low in my opinion. The stock height makes it seem like a 4x4 because of the tire to fender gap, not to mention that the fenderwell is pretty big.

You'll noticed on other cars like Audi's, BMW, etc., the tire gap is a lot less which makes it seem low, ...but yet, it has a higher ground clearance than the G. In other words, dropping the G an inch or two will get the fender right above the tire, where dropping the Audi an inch or two gets the rim tucked in.
