Default bottoming out the a-arms on my civic:

my car is dropped on some omni full coil overs. but is there any way to stop bottoming out my skunk2 a-arms on my chassis? i already re-welded the shock towers for more clearance but it still bottoms out on some minor bums in the road. any suggestions?

Get an Ingall's kit, it doesn't have the bolts on the top of the arm. If it's still a problem after that:

raise your damn car up

You can resect the A Arm by cutting out an inch and rewelding them.
I did this with my race car. I still have the functionality of adjusting it, but no more bottoming out.
Might also want to take a look at raising it up a bit, changing the spring rates and look into shocks with more rebound/stiffness.
