I had lowered my car. I didn't find scraping the front bumper to be the main problem. Going through dips in the road (and tracking my car) the suspension would compress to the point where my front wheels were digging into the plastic of the wheelwell. The allows water, etc. to get into the engine compartment, etc.
So I ended raising my SLK55 back up somewhat when I had new wheelwell covers put in. My coilovers use linear springs, so the ride smoothly.
