I've got the same feeling after 27000km on my CHR.
Last week I took off the plastic "eyebrows" in front of the wheels. I know people that had serious damage from these, touching to the ground.
Mine measures 12 cm from the front plastic flaps to the ground. It's covered 12,000 miles. Ground clearance at middle of car is 20 cm.
This seems normal according to this Youtube;
You shouldn't ground the flaps as the wheel is so close unless you are on very bumpy road. You might scrape them parking perpendicularly close to a pavement...

Thank you. Now I understand.I know how to measure ground clearance but I didn't understand what those "plastic flaps" do in this situation. I think the measurement should be done under the suspension of the car?
Of course. If 10cm = measurement A and 12.5cm = measure B, then A should be equal to or greater than B. Otherwise, the front of the car could break. Sorry my bad English.
So even at 125mm (the highest part of my hybrid) that's a drop of 23mm.
That's a lot
