Default Help - Car Bottoming Out

I recently moved to a new apartment and the car keeps bottoming out. Car is lowered on RSR Springs. Front bumper is scraping and bottoming out in the middle. Would something like the Nia splitter kit help, or would it simply tear off. Thanks

You will ruin the Nia kit if you are already scraping without a front lip on. It hangs about half in inch lower than your front bumper does right now. You either need to approach the area where you are scraping at an angle, or take another route to your apartment within the complex. Other options would be to go on air so you don't have to worry about situations like this, or just go back to stock if you can't get the hang of driving lowered. But the last thing you should do is get a kit if your'e scraping with nothing on right now.

Everywhere else I drive is not an issue. The apartment has a steep driveway and after the driveway there is a steep decline down (think of a small pyramid) where I scrape the middle of the car. I thought about going air, but the wife says no due to cost. I would be so sad going back to stock height because I can not stand that wheel gap. I was hoping the kit would at least protect the car itself, but had a feeling it might even get torn off damaging the car even more. I appreciate the feedback. I guess I can move lol
