speed bumps, steep driveways, etc are now your enemy. learn to attack them at an angle instead of driving straight into them. it'll take some practice. and it won't work on everything.

i have a 04 GTO that is lowered 2" front and back.. so it scrapes pretty often if i'm not paying attention.. you need to hit any bumps at an angle.. if their is a dip in the ground you'll again have to hit it at an angle however most of the time dips are on crappy roads and you don't spot them till it's too late however.. don't slam on your breaks when you see them you'll just scrape harder.. you also might want to check the shocks if your scraping periodically on good pieces of road with tiny bumps or dips..

You will have to take the driveways or anything else that you might think you will scrap on at an angle.
