Default Bottoming Out

I am so low, Sometimes I cant avoid bottoming out. What is the worst damage this can cause?

i was thinking the motor mounts could come loose. scrapes going in and out of steep driveways and makes huge boom noise going over speed bumps when it hits the frame. i have to approach everything sideways.

panzy, you shouldn't be hearing a "huge boom noise" regardless of how low your car is....if anything you should hear a scraping...a boom means you're going way too fast....have you ever driven a lowered car before or do you just do tanks?
