Haha I want to see you get in/out of my driveway now that you are lowered... We know what happened last time when you backed out and forgot to angle.

In all seriousness though - I ended up having to buy some new curb ramps so mine could make it up the driveway. I left my front splitter and air guards on so I knew when to take it slow.

It's all good man, it takes time. One thing I did when I lowered it was I took the front air guards off the under side of the front bumper. Before my drop I scraped going up my race ramps, after the drop and taking the air guards off I don't scrape

3 x10mm bolts on each one and cuts wayyyy down on the scraping!

My car never came with them installed

Just scratched the passenger side skirt a bit.

Yeah that would be fun to do

I never really have to deal with drive ways since I park in the lot at my apartment complex. The driveways that I do occasionally deal with are no where near as steep as yours.

Yeah it was done around 9. Took like 2.5 hrs to do the alignment and resurface my brake rotors. Cost $50 for the alignment and $60 for the rotors. Definitely loving the new alignment with the zero toe setup, thanks for the recommendation Dan

Here's a teaser pic from right after the alignment, you can definitely see the drop now.

Red__Zed · 09-27-2011, 09:29 PM

looks good man. Glad to hear the alignment is working for you.

I think you will really notice a difference once you get on some tight twisties.
