Default Eibach pro-kit installed

I just got my springs installed, I recently notice that everytime i drive up to a drive way i feel something scraping. I think its the resonator on my LM or its the Y-pipe, Did i lose that much ground clearance..? Anybody with the same problem? Is there any way to avoid this problem?

Go in slower and at more of an angle. It's the price you pay for the car to look good.

Similar when I had my H&R springs installed. Scraped the front deflector on ramps but girls were all over it.

You can rule out what it is, is it a metal scraping sound?

Yeah....Its metal scraping, sometimes its comming from the rear and the middle near the driver side.
Sometimes i can get away without scraping the plastic piece in the front.
