I dropped my car 2" in front and 1.8 in rear with lowering springs. when i go over speed bumps i hear & feel like grinding after my front tires clear the bump. Is there anything i can buy to prevent like under car damage or any suggestions? I know i can drive like diagnolly across bumps, but thats not always an options when a cars in the other lane comin toward me. I mean I dont wanna bust my oil pan or messup anything else. I dont have a camber kit either. My camber is not too bad really anyways. Please help

Um, that's weird... 95 Accord huh?? Well, it depends what size bumps you're talking about here.

How about raise it back to stock height?

If the car was road worthy lowered, it would have came from the factory that way.

Let me guess, this is your first lowered car isn't it? I guess go over at an angle and as slow as you can. My accord is a 93 and it was dropped more than yours and I rarely scraped. Also as far as damage goes, why don't you look under your car and see where it is scraping and how bad. A couple words of advice "A little common sense goes a long way".
