The front of my car is really low...need advice....

ok so I own the Accolade EVO VII Techsport edition body kit and I also have Eibach Springs...

well my front is super low, I cant make it up my driveway, my parents bought me curb ramps cause they felt soo bad! well the roads here sometimes arent the greatest and there have been alot of pot holes recently.

soooooo currently my bumper has been beaten to death since i had this kit installed, if u look under the thing u'll see sooooo many scrapes and scrathes and what not, so end of april jus b4 my wheels go back on, my car goes into the body shop to get my kit repainted b/c the rocks on the road also chipped some of the paint and what not...so it goes in to make it loook pretty again for summer and I have offically decided to park it for winter

but MY QUESTION......is there n e thing i can put underneath my bumper so if i do accidently scrape it, it wont like kill the underneath??




the underneath of this section.

either way, it would prevent scratching the bottom of the bumper

True but isn't that like solving the problem by having something else get mangled in the process and it really doesn't solve the problem. Here's the solution you didn't want to hear, put the stock springs back on or get a coil over set up with adjustable settings and set it higher then the Eibach are set. Better yet get the Nex coilovers and let us all know how they work out, we need a guinea pig. (did I speel guinea pig right?)

my advice, loose the springs and go coil overs. That way you can adjust your height. I know how you feel bro, i have the same kit, only with the Progress Springs which is a lower drop.

3m double sided tape(very storng), aluminum/ sheetmetal (cut to size) for now. you most likely can see where its scraping. Then, Save up for coilovers.

on the carbontrix.com front page look under "Products by category" choose "wings/knobs/gauge pods/sheets etc." It's a universal splitter shown on a tiburon.
