Pic of your car? You must be slammed if you are scraping your sway bar. Might need to avoid speed bumps. A stiffer suspension would help.

I've scraped mine pretty good due to some bad roads.

I didn't think it was possible to scrape the swaybars. The front one is above the shroud and the rear one will never be lower than the wheel. If anything, maybe the exhaust pipe(s)?

^It is possible with the front bar. Mine has gouges from scraping multiple times. I don't think its possible to scrape the rear bar though.

EDIT: Forgot this thread was for a sedan, not sure if their setup differs from the coupes.

Car is not exactly slam but maybe 1.5 inches from bumper lip to the ground.

1.5" bumper clearance is most definitely slammed.

This doesn't look like 1.5" front bumper clearance though.
