Try adjusting your coil-overs to raise the front end 1" - 1 1/2". You want 5" - 7" clearance from road to oil pan. Increase spring stiffness if necessary so a bump doesn't make suspension bounce as much. Crank another click or two of stiffness into your shocks.

Lastly, your oil pan isn't the lowest point under your car, your bellhousing is. If your bellhousing starts hitting concrete, the flywheel ring gear will go and your starter won't engage properly to start the motor.

Need to get the reptile a little further up off the ground.
