Will it scrape?

[uclaman]

For you ride height experts out there...

The yohos that built my house screwed up the driveway. Its at bit of an angle.

Do you think I will scrape on my driveway if I lower with MSS? Should be ok right?

Forgive the question, never driven a vehicle lowered from stock ride height.

Thanks for any insight to this noob.

I doubt it, but what matters is the angle between the driveway and the street. Drive the front lip to that angle and have someone guide you to the closest point, then measure. If it's under an inch I probably wouldn't lower the car.

Well this is where the yohos screwed up. Meaning that the car is at the steepest angle change. And the steepest angle change is in the middle of the driveway. The angle between the street and the driveway past this point is negligible and essentially flat.

If that's the clearance you have at the steepest angle of the driveway, you're gonna be fine. I wouldn't go pulling in/out super fast, but you shouldn't have any problems with that amount of clearance.

Agree. Unless you want to go all air suspension. In which case you should have just got an A3. lol

I can see only one solution... sell the house heh

While I'm no fan of airing out anything other than SUVs, if you're not going to track the car it's not really a big deal. It's actually more functional to do it with the RS3 because you already lost the space in the trunk where the spare would have gone and could easily fit the air components down there along with the battery. Again, not a fan of air...but I do love the Lavella aired out wide body RS3. Pure sex.

More importantly, if it scrapes, does it Djent? \m/

Probably the best sounding aftermarket exhaust I've heard so far...

Ha. I like where I live though!

No way you'll have any issues with a ~30mm drop.

Thanks for everyone's input!

When you lower it, just take all inclines and declines at an angle and not straight on and you’ll be fine.

Depends on the bumper cover, but yep, almost always applicable. And just as important, keep your steering wheel straight.

You'll clear....I have the MSS kit.
