I'm not gonna push the issue because there's no reason really. Your car looks great none the less.
But I have the samebumpers than you and FRPPlowering springs. Ihaven't scraped yet. Some of my friends have nasty driveways too. You can always drop the back and see if you like that.
If you don't clear the rear, then you have other issues[8D]

Would love to but my driveway won't allow it. Guess I'll have to sell the house!

WOW.. Just when I thoughtI hadmade up my mind on what wheels to order, you go and postup those pics and ruined me. Great job on everything!!
Same boat as you with the driveway, my GT/CA literally hasabout 3/4 of an inch clearance getting in and out. Talked to a guy about bringing the driveway out another foot into the road and setting it up not to interfere with the city drainage etc.. For what it would cost, id rather spend that on a SC and stay stock height

ApexStang...
I think the front is lower by an inch max, and 1 and 3/4 at the back.
You should be OK.
Here's a side pic of my car so you can have an idea.
The only thing you'll have to watch for, is those concrete parking stops. Make it a habit to not pull all the way in.

Thanks SmokeIn! In all reality, we have a little one on the way and my current house sits on about a .15 acres. Not enough land for me and the wife and I are thinking about looking for a house on about an acre. I plan on building a detached garage for the pony.

A 1" drop won't be enough. You will still have a noticable gap between your rear tire and fender.
Your best bet would be the FRPP springs or the Eibach ProKit. (They are the same)
