I need a garage solution. My driveway is too steep and after I get my wheels installed I'm looking to drop the car about 1/2 or 3/4 of an inch.
Which is going to be a problem, because at the current drop height, here is my clearance...
(oh and you can see Mo's car in the 4th pic or something lmao)

ccarlo, seriously that is amazing LOL. Did you adjust the height perfectly to fit that driveway drop? Are you keeping the same size wheels? If your going to run bigger rims, it might lift the car up to 1/2 inch.

Nope lol.
That's how it sits right now. I have Advan RS's waiting to be installed. After it's installed I plan to lower the car about 3/4" of an inch (currently it's at about 2 finger gap all around).
But as you can see, if I lower it even 0.5mm, my front lip is going to hate me.

Damn, nice pictures you guys!
To cCarlo, I gotta see more pictures of your driveway...it doesn't seem that steep from those pictures. You just gotta angle out of your driveway. Although it does seem that your driveway is kinda narrow.

At the top part of the driveway (sidewalk part where it begins to go flat) you can see a bunch of SCUFF marks. This was because back when I had my G35, the y-pipe would scrape it all the time.
Here was my MR y-pipe after I took it off the G lol.
Yo Carlo, I had the same dilemma with my driveway..I have one of those rounded curbs where you're supposed to park halfway on top of it on the street. It's impossible to get ANY lowered car into the driveway so I picked up some wood from home depot and built a ramp. I'll snap some pics of it tomorrow..you can kind of see how the driveway is curved upwards at a steep angle in this pic. At that height in the pic I was able to get up with no scraping..so relieved lol

Nice ride! I absolutely hate rolled curbs like that? The engineer who came up with them should be forced to dump his pick up and drive a car that's lowered and can actual handle. Or just shoot him.
