Default Tired of Scraping! and Hitting

I had my car lowered and it was a pain in the *** to drive.
Going over speed bumps at angles , etc.
Anyways my car is stock height on 15" with 50 series tires, fine right.
No! I still scrape and hit. My shocks need to replaced theyre almost dead.
I measured under my prelude has a little less thend 4 inches of clearance.
I believe its this link suspension thing down there.
Does anyone hit there also? Im stock height!

15" Konigs and 50 Series and Falken Azenis.

Im not a bad driver.
At least I think Not.
I scrape when I pull out of the driveway, going into plaza over curbs.

Not the front its the bottom.

Stock 93 Prelude.....
15"Wheels on Azenis. I have 4 inches under front end of car...

I dunno. Am I riding lower then stock height?
My shocks are near dead Think Im riding bumpstops? I doubt theyre that dead.
I did have drop before...

Anyways, Noone else ever scrape at stock height?

you tires on 15's should be 205/55/15 or 215/50/15.

If they are 205/55/15, your car is sitting about 1/2" lower then stock.

just raise the car if its that much of a problem ya know. and check to make sure they arent busted . Stay away from the potholes know how to make clearance on bumps. Dont pay attention too much to the people honking behind you for slowing down if you bust up your car they dont care anyway so dont care about them and do your thang. Just avoid the bumps and drive sideways and dont sit so low or else youll get owned.
