ok......you can buy rubber mats that measure
approximately 16" wide 24" long and come
in various thicknesses. i usually deal with the
1/2" thick type.

these you can lay out for extended periods of
time and when you feel like cleaning up the area
for the street sweeper, they can easily be picked up
and thrown into the garage.

they are also easily cut into various shapes

Need some ideas here...

I lowered my mustang but now it can't get up the sidewalk into the driveway without hitting the concrete. Anyone having any ideas about ramps or whatever? Not sure the city would like it if I changed the sidewalk!

Thanks!

Pour some concrete to fill the void that
is between the curb and driveway.

air ride suspension tech set up with installation will probably be around $5000 and the arnott is about $3100 just for the kit alone. i've read excellent reviews for the air ride tech suspension, especially for handling. i think it's the only air bag set up that currently focuses on ride/handling. the rest of the systems sacrifice.

good luck

Adj. Air Suspension. Raise and lower to whatever is needed. They do have a setup for Mustangs.

I only did the roush rears and my little driveway that leads into my garage scraps my cdc chin. But i had some left over carpeting that i cut apart to sit underneath where it was touching which was maybe only about 3 inches almost dead center of the chin spoiler. 1st time i did it it barely hit, 2nd time took a little bit of paint off from the underside which i just touched up. Haven't had a chance to try the carpet since it happened but at least it won't be scraping on the bare driveway now.

Can I see some pics of this Roush only rears. Were they easy to install or did you have someone
do it for you? I got theRoush rears but have not installed them yet as I am awaiting poly sway
bar bushings to install at the same time. Do you like the Roush rears. Did they drop you 3/4" as
advertised?

Maybe this is too simple....can you come at it at an angle? If not....the only way will be something to drive over.
