So here is my set up. Fortune Auto coils. spring rages are 8k front / 9k rear. Wheels are 18x9.5 +38. Tires are 245/40. Alignment specs are -2 front and -2.5 rear. Dropped down to about a generous finger gap.

So while out doing spirited driving in the mountains, on big bumps and dips it seems to bottom out a little bit. A friend of my drove the car and said the same thing. I think it might be that I'm hitting the bump stops? Maybe there isn't enough suspension travel because of the drop? Or maybe it just can't take bigger dips and bumps in the road? I'm not sure as to what the problem is, but any help or suggestions would help!
I know that being too low just ruins the handling...but it just looks too good lower. My friend and I are probably going to raise the car up a little and see if that helps at all. Any ideas or knowledge would be great! Thank you!
