Default Need a solution to get in my driveway...

without scraping. My driveway has a slight slope but right where it meets the street there is like a drain so it dips a little lower. Everytime i pull in i scrape just a tad. Now i want to lower the car more than just the roush springs that i currently have. Does anyone know if you can buy some sort of ramp or something that will help reduce the angle or fill in the drain dip? I saw a thread a while back where a guy made his own but cant find it.

+1. It should help.

I do have the same problem...
Nothing scrapes, but it's an annoying dip. Rattles my teeth.

haha, dirt? umm probably not, it'd only last til the first rain then it'd be a mud hole. severe angling does work but is annoying. speed bumps are rare around here but even so i dont scrape them

Your best bet is going to be to take it at an angle ... its annoying but that's a downfall you have to deal with when lowering a car.
