dude i hate to break it to you but the solution is not to lower your car that much lol. my last car was an 02 acura tl type S and when i bought it it was lowered and i raised it up an inch because it was just too much of a pain to get around where i live.

if you really want to keep that setup then look at removing the wheel well liners (if you haven't already) this may buy you a half an inch or more. also you could look into installing bump-stops but i don't know how easy that would be on this car or if they even make them for this car.

if you have adjustable dampening on your shocks, I would set it to full stiff. Or if you have an option of getting stiffer springs, I would also do that. You would have to sacrifice comfort for less chances of bottoming out.

I think is because your slammed without a good ride hight. Change your ride hight to prevent bottoming out.....
