How low is your Tuscan?
Discussion
I ask as I have a habbit of grounding out at every concieveable bump in the road.
The car handles absolutely outstandingly and truth be told I don't want to start buggering around with the Nitrons raising the car if its going to cock up the handling.
At a guess, I reckon I have 2 inches max clearance and its my diff and end cans that scrape.

The handling should be set up with the lower wish bones level to the road surface. [Correction, Draw a line between the wishbone mounting point and the ball joint of the upright. The wishbone will be slightly below horizontal...if that makes sense??)]
If they are not, then it too low and the handling will not be as good as it could be. If they are level, then the bump setting is too soft would be my guess. If the forces are not being absorbed, I'd be concerned about where that energy is going. That will be into the shock and the chassis. I've seen some pics of cracks in the suspension mounting points in T-series chassis!

My 2S had Gaz gold pros fitted with new springs a bit ago and they were the wrong spring rating for the Tuscan (T350 Springs fitted)and I had no end of bother with the grounding. Once I fitted the correct rated springs everything has been fine.I think they are 375lb springs on the rear now.
