Damn, how large are those speed bumps? Only thing I knwo to do is put skids on the bottom of the car if it's that bad.

good stuff, it will give a better ideas as to what needs to be done, if anything.

A shot of under the car and the bumper would be quite helpful.

The car isn't lowered and it's scraping? Must be some high-*** speed bumps. There's these speed bumps in the mall parking lot near my house that are square. Like, they don't have any incline as you go over them. They're like curbs in the middle of the road. They suck.

My stang, will scrape on many speedbumps. Stock exhaust, and suspension. But my struts and shocks are pretty bad as it is.
