Unhappy Why does my car "hit?"

When I go over a pot hole, my suspension hits. I have adjustable coil overs, can it be that they are set too low? I don't think they are too low, but i don't know.

Here is a picture

Need to learn the art of swerving.
What shocks are you using?...Might not be stiff enough.

Have a camber kit?

My ball joint camber kit hits the inner fender well when i hit a large pot hole. Nothing to worry about really. When you lower your car, the upper arms have less travel room.

K, so I checked and don't have a camber kit so that is ruled out. Thanks anyway.

It does sound more like my shocks arn't big enough. How should I go about choosing ones that will fit and be stiff enough for my accord. Is my best bet to just go to an auto parts shop?

so let me get this straight. just buy my selection from
www tirerack com/ suspension/ here. for example these: Eibach Pro-Damper Set. and a shop will put them in replacement of the shocks i have? what will happen to the adjustable springs?

Default Why does my car "hit "

Ill have to take a picture of the 2 liter, to really see what Im talking about. They changed their font to what looks like the font used in the freebsd logo and there logo is now a round ball, kind of like the freebsd logo minus the horns with blue and white swashes added. The blue backing on the 2 liter makes it look like the wallpaper with new logo.
