that's cold................................................yall
sounds like the spring rate is too soft and possibly in combination of blown struts.
I had a set of dropzones and they were way too soft for the ride height I was at.
check to see if there is oil leaking around the struts...if they are wet looking with dirt stuck to them, they are blown.
I would invest in some new springs that have stiffer spring rate, like 380lb in front, 300lb or so in back.
I am happy with the ots Ground control coilovers, with extended tophats, and tokico struts.

sameWhat a horrible illustration, I'd just drive around the bumps..
if you can just drive around it...then do it. if not angle it. but for me..if i angle i scrap but if i go straight i dont >_< a bit weird but thats me.Sounds like the previous owner might have put the aftermarket springs on stock shocks
i have coilovers on stock shocks and never bottom out. my s**t isnt slammed but its low
That is more than an inch, thats about what i have on my SI. I would assume your struts are f**ked, check them
i'm riding on sprint extreme drop springs, 3.25" inch drop and i don't have a problem with anything, some what of a stiff ride but no bottoming out problems. my hatch has been lowered like that for over 8 years and it took me some time to get used to driving it that low when i first dropped it. just be careful.
now these cars are low and drive around everyday. its all about knowing the road and being alert. going sideways will save lives!!!!
i feel your pain dude, i use to adjust my coilovers to be as low as driveable
but it got to the point where jacking the car up was a huge pain in the ass, and so was everyday driving just get coilovers and set them to exactly what you want based on where you go alot and the speedbump/potholes/dips/driveways that you have to deal with, dont even worry about how it looks

A a wise man once told me... it is not the road you must know...it is that you must be the one with the road...
change out the springs for some good coil overs, and you will be set for the rest of your cars life.
