Bottoming Out or Suspension Noise

Bottoming Out or Suspension Noise
My Fit seems to be bottoming out/scraping the roadbed too often. I even notice it making turns with slight elevation changes. It sounds like I'm scraping but it may also be suspension noise too.
Nothing seems to be hanging down under the car. Splash guards are in place. I'm running 175/65R-15 winter tires, but I wouldn't think it would make that much of a difference. The problem seems to be getting progressively worse.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any TSB's out there that you know of?

I'm trying to familiarize myself with the workings of the FIT's suspension setup, since I had a problem exactly like yours in my previous car (the Altima) and had no idea WTF it was. Even after putting new rear shocks on the Altima I still had the grinding noise?
I just did some research...Possibly a bad wheel bearing or bad trailing arm bushings?

It could be the outer CV joints based on what you said about it occurring while turning as you are going up an incline... If so it would make a rapid rhythmic noise like a ratchet.
