I've been looking into upgrading my suspension for a while and I'm desprately in need of some new rear struts. I have the tein s-tech springs, but my problem is that my car already sits pretty low to the ground with my lip kit(see profile). As it is, I bottom out all the time, so it might be dangerous to drop it. On the other hand, people keep making comments on ho large my wheel gap is. Should I lower it? I'd rather not destroy my front lip, but I'd like better handling and less wheen gap.

maybe getting thicker tires to cover the gap...with bigger rims...
maybe stiffer suspension so the body won't sink as much on curbs, hard acceleration, braking... new struts should make a difference i think.
as playr158 said driving style is something in consideration. maybe don't drive so aggressive? look out for pot holes. know your roads where they are smooth, less bumps, ect. look out ahead of roads of such.
Get better at weight transition...
thats all i could really think of now.

any suspension buffs on here should know the right thing to do. anybody?
