Default bottoming out

what is the first thing that starts to bottom out on the body when you lower the car?
i have a 2" drop and there are heavy metal slamming noises in my front end whenever going over pretty much anything, what is the first thing that bottoms out on a crx as you lower the car?

i have integra front brakes, accord shocks and ebay springs

its really driving me nuts because the car isnt even slammed or anything

ps. i had the front checked out completely nothing is loose/worn

Looks like it is time to bring it up a little bit then. Just sounds like you are too low for your area.

My car is stock height, but there is a little hook ring thing on the front end that scrapes sometimes. I know for sure that is it on my car? Check yours?

My car is lowered and that little hook thing you are talking about scrapes over everything. I give it about another month and it will be grinded off.

I used to smack my crossmember everytime I crossed these stupid train tracks that I had to cross 10 times a day back when I worked full time. Otherwise its my downpipe shield on my 4-2-1 headers that hits first when I get into a deep rut on the road. Over speedbumps its the midsection of the exhaust or the floor.
