my drop settled more after only 3 months??
i lowered my car sometime around may and just since like monday i noticed my aero kit front lip scrapes going out of my driveway, not going in, only out. I dont go out fast at all and my driveway is not steep. Last week it was fine and didnt scrape at all 
i thought it takes a long time for them to settle? i have a 1 - 1 1/2 finger gap with tokico blues and neuspeed sports with 18" wheels

Rep Power: 233 may be dumb but here two things i thought of (but proly arent the reason ur scraping, just some thoughts)
Check your tire pressure to make sure they are inflated to specs, low tire pressure = lower car
Also, it may be so low that you have blown your struts, and therefore the car sits lower now.
Hope it helps, if neither of those are it then yes, ur springs settled even more, what a b*tch

Rep Power: 273 1. check the tops of them for fluid anywhere around it and do you hear clicking or a popping on any turns.
2. if you didnt get your alignment that may help a very tiny bit.
3. did you add anything to your car to add some weight to it.

Rep Power: 273 yeah then i would just check for popping or fluid leaks on the struts. but if your ride is same height on all 4 then all 4 of them didnt go. i know jersey roads up north are bad but not that bad.

Rep Power: 322 Did you take your "No fat chicks the bumper will scrape" sticker off? If you did, I'd bet money that's what's causing it. Fat chicks sneaking into your car when you're not looking. That's gotta be it.
