Question Need some advise

Can any one help me?
My classic has uprated suspension i think but from time to time depending on what sort of road i'm on (A127 mainly) the front end keeps scraping the floor & when i pull away fast the back end dips quite a bit. on my front i have an adjuster to make it stiffer or softer by making it stiffer would this cure it? allthough the ride is a bit stiff at the moment.
does any one have any ideas?

You could try making it stiffer mate but the ride height will still be the same and the front will still probably scrape, sounds damm low to me.

Stiffening the rear would reduce the power on squat but make the rear end a little more interesting in the wet.

Have you got coil overs?,

that don't sound right at all, worse case scenario is that the dampers are shot, or if you have coil overs, the ride height is too low, and need setting up
