Post Anyone scratched bottom of front bumper becuase of lowered springs??????

I just H&R sport springs...car seems much lowered. So lowered that i keep on scratching the bottom of my front bumper becuase of dips and speedbump...dont' get me wrong, i do slow down for them, i'm just not use to going from 45mph to 5mph for a speedbump when the light is green. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone done anything to protect the front bumper? My girlfriends lexus has that rubber mold on the bottom of her front bumper to prevent this, but i don't think honda makes one for our car. Anyone with a creative idea?

I scraped the bottom of my body kit without having it lowered. Now that I have the H&R Sport springs I haven't had any problems with the normal speed bumps, etc. I didn't think of having that Xpel put under the front nose of the body kit... I might have that done, although it might save you a few times but I doubt it would last too long, depends on how frequently you hit. My pony had a plastic strip under the nose too, I suppose there is always hydrolics...

I too was looking into the H&R springs (the least drop version) but after going on my friends driveway in SanFrancisco and scraping my front body kit no matter what speed im going everytime made me reevaluate getting the springs.

Hey Closer, just double checking, your rims are 18x7.5 on 235/40R18 Yokahama AVS db right?
