    Help Calculating Issues with Lowering my Car

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have been reading all of the spring comparison threads being posted and would like to make a purchase soon. Before I lower my car I wanted to see if anyone could help me calculate if I will have any issues with my driveway.

    My plan is to go with a moderate sport drop (either the HR or the Emmanuele springs), Right now the back of my car seems to have good clearance but the front seems to only have about 3ish inches or so when the car approaches the incline.

    Has anyone had a similar experience they can share or is their any type of calculation i can do to help ensure I won't have any issues?

    You should be fine with 3 inches at stock height. Most springs with drop about an inch +/-

    you will just need to get used to entering and backing out of driveways in an angle.

    I have a crappy driveway, but solved it:


    I don't scrap anywhere, I always take driveways at angles and crawl over speed bumps though.

    I am lowered on Emmanuele's springs. I don't have an issue going onto and out of my driveway, and mine is way steeper than yours. Same for speedbumps and other road hazards. Its only an inch.. now if you bag it and give it that riced-out look, that's a different story.
