Default BC Racing Coilover lowered

I lowered my front BC Racing (14/10) by 1/2 inch in the front only, it looked so much better but I couldn't stand the scraping going over moderate dip in the road. I lived in Calgary, Alberta, Canada; the road sux here.

Does anyone know if by lowering the rear by 1/2 inch it would remove/reduce the scraping on the road?

No, it won't remove/reduce the scraping. The approach angle would be virtually unchanged.

set your dampening on a stiffer setting.

Just got it done a few days ago.. no problem now.. with all the constant scraping the ISF sounded like a horrible cheap car. I can't believe 1/2 inch would make such a different.

1/2" lower from stock and you're scraping? And I thought LA had some bad roads.
