Unhappy Ground clearance problem

I have recently upgraded my TSX suspension to Progress springs 1.25" F/R drop with +03 accord KYB GR2 shocks. (The accord front shocks will fit perfectly but the rear need to be trimmed to fit.) Does anyone have any problem with their lowered tsx? My front have a severe problem of hitting the road on the freeway when I go over small dips on the freeway. It seems that the two front towing hooks doesn't have much ground clearance. I am suspecting the accord KYB shocks but can't understand how that would be the problem.

(Just to let everyone know, the RSX-S clutch will not fit the TSX.)

KYB makes a good product, but the GR2 is not a performance oriented strut. It's really more of a replacement for the factory strut. You'd want the AGX to go with lower, stiffer springs.

Still, a 1.25" drop doesn't rub with factory struts; these struts must be super compliant.......
