Move down to Colorado Springs like everyone else.

I have nismo so the ground effects make it harder as it plus boosted performance kit (turbo under car) so I'm really worried about scraping when pulling in or out.

Two years ago I tore out my old driveway and re-poured it. I have a nice, smooth transition from the driveway to the street which is Z-car friendly...

I have to back in at a pretty steep angle. Unfortunately if the family wagon isn't right I've got to move it to make the angle.

I do what I have to do to minimize scraping. 90% of the time I pull in and out of my driveway in such a angle that I run over 1 or 2 ft of lawn grass. I said it before and will say it again. Screw the grass; it can die! Save the ride!

Have no problem with my driveway, but every single alley is an issue--they all require a sharp angle and creeping into the road while listening for scraping. A friend has a house with driveway that's steep and has a sharp angle near the street, no way I can make it. A typical curb ramp wouldn't help, he'd have to re-pour or get permission to install grates (much cheaper). The main grate has the bars at a diagonal for bikes, the wings angle down so bikes can ride over them and not get the front wheel stuck. Definitely need approval for that, but it's a reasonable solution.

I just lowered my Z 1 inch on swift springs and now I scrap going out of my driveway and reversing out isn't really an option as I have to drive between my place and my neighbours house with only about an inch of clearance on both sides... not sure what the solution is yet, maybe ill just move lol

JRI makes air lift setups that don't change spring rate, and there's someone who makes hydraulic. I haven't checked into them for the Z, but know they exist for quite a few toys.

I think you can take help from some professional paving contractors. They can help you with your issue. Recently my neighbor also got similar problem, but without wasting time he contacted one the best paving contractors in Queens. I think they can definitely help you with this issue.
