NO>>>>There isn't. Get a front lip i'd say!! HAHA... You're just gonna have to get used to it. What you can't see won't hurt you and it won't come up and out to where you can see it. This is my 7th lowered car , so I'm a pro but you'll get used to it.

depends on what it is. Be careful with the parking lot cement blocks that stop your car. You'll rub on those or can pull bumpers off. Speed bumps, go slow and at a 45 degree angle as well as driveways. Come out to a meet in Nor Cal sometime and you'll see some low cars.

Scraping is just part of the game.

Most people with coilovers don't talk about x" drop because it's hard to reference it to the stock suspension when it's been adjusted many times. Lowering springs can say it drops a car 1" because it is static and are not adjustable. How do you know you are lowered the 1.5 or 1.2 inches, what did you base that off of. Just saying because most people adjust it till to the liking, not worrying about wheher they dropped it 2" or 2.5"..

I agree with what everybody suggests, maybe it your driving style. Can't be going over bump/driveways fast anymore. Going in and out of driveways just became a very greedy business as you will take up the whole driveway to angle..

i dont think you are scraping the front bumper, i am lower than you by a little but and i dont hear scraping...its one of two things you are hearing

1) you are rubbing your fender liner as everyone has said (dont worry there is no serious damage here on your car except on the liner which is just rubber/plastic

2) you are scraping your middle cat or resonator (should only be scraping when going up driveways, again not a serious issue)

unless you fly into ramps, driveways and speed bumps at 30+ then you shouldnt be scraping much or at all

Are you sure its the tires or the front lip itself that you are hearing and not those two plastic guards located underneath the bumper on each side of the that stick down about a inch?

You know what i think you are right, It doesnt really sound like scrape because i hear scrape before and you can really feel scrape.. it sounds 10 times worst then what I hear.. mine sounds like a minor scrape but not a major scrape.. don't know if that makes sense.. It just makes this noise that kinda sounds like it.. lol.. but also underneath of my bumper is kinda scratched, mayb it was already there.. who knows.. guess I gotta keep monitoring it to see if thats the actual problem..

mike51O

It might even be those two plastic guards!.. those are pretty low to the floor, i have no idea now.. i just saw some scratches under my bumper and i thought that was it, but i never looked under there ever since i had my car so im not sure if those were there or not..

Go take those two guards off... Drive around for while at the places here you normally scrape and then report back. I betting it's those two pieces.. I use two scrape all over speed bumps... Took them off and no more noise at bumps... But now I have a full kit so I just scape all day.. I let's me know I'm doing something right

scraping/scratching/rubbing is well worth the stares from people you pass up on the HWY
