As most people mentioned above your best option is to raise the car up.

Hope that helps.
Alright thanks, Thats kinda what I figured but I did not know if anyone came up with any tricks. I just love the look of my car sitting on the ground too much to lift it up. The only time it is really bad is when hit a rough over pass at 120 and the back tires come off the ground hahaha

HAHA well I'd leave it low if that is the only problem you are having. I could never raise mine back up....it just looks too good.
