Ughhh. Come on guys.
Ride height does not affect this at all. I could be stance bro low and never have this issue, because I drove like a sissy.
No idea exactly when this happened. Hitting a big ledge at 60 feels like **** even hitting bumpstops.

BTW
Comp weight?
Pinch weld heights?
Tire size and compound/model?

Weight: your guess is as good as mine. Probably ~2300 depending on when I **** last. Not a competition car.
4.25"f 4.5"r
225 rs3v2s
i know if at least 4-5 "oh **** that curb hurt" moments in the past season. Could have come from any of those. I hate ORP in that regard. Dropoffs are steep.

As mentioned earlier, make sure your NB mount rear Xidas have two bushing beneath the shock mount.

Caught that. I live in a world of search engines and forum threads. I mentioned that for the guy that does a google search, finds your thread (having NB mounts incorrectly installed) and needs an answer.
As you were..

Mine does that. or I should say did. Now the chassis side is bent out of the way enough it doesn't. Also have the nice rub marks on the inner fender directly above the center of the tire indicating 100% use of bump travel.

Interesting.
What would be a better option. Trim chassis? Or lower the shock mount.
Trimming the chassis would give me more travel, which according to the top of my fender well I really don't need. But lowering the shock mount without changing ride height would give me a net loss of travel.
