Suspension Bottom out problem! Please Help!!!

I have a 1996 honda prelude si body. I have kyb struts and skunk 2 lowering springs. It is dropped about 2 inches or more. riding down the road I have always wondered what hit so dang hard when i hit bumps. I have thought it was my exhaust test pipe or something now to find out the control arm where my ingalls camber is on is slamming itself up the the square shapped thing besides the strut tower. They have punched holes into that from the impact and i dunno what to do. I really don't want to higher the car back up. Has anyone had this problem and what can i do to fix it?>

You're only other options are to raise the car which you don't want to do. Cut the inner fender so it doesn't hit anymore. Or remove the camber kit completely. You could possibly get an even stiffer spring and shock combo so that when you do hit bumps the suspension doesn't compress as much.

Or just wait like ludehawk said.
