You can NEVER park in my driveway again...not because I'd be against it, just because you're so low now LOL.

Can't come in my driveway either. My Miata has about 2.5" of clearance and I have to drive that thing all sideways to get it up the curb without scraping. So most of the time I just leave it parked in the street lol.

Yeah that's one thing about my place that I don't like. I can't even enter the primary driveway. I have to drive up the street, make a u-turn, come back into the second driveway an as much of an angle as possible and then turn from my front yard into the main driveway and garage. It's a hassle.

And Ian, I apologize for what I said about you not being able to park in my driveway ever again. That could have possibly started a conflict and this thread could have been closed because of that slight possibility. LOL

How exactly was that an ahole comment? Are you the mod in this section or something? I was speaking in general, not about you. Sorry for speaking the truth though.

Back on topic (I wouldn't want to hijack Ian's thread too haha)...
Ian, pretty low man lol. Won't you have trouble making it around town in general? Are you going to leave it that low? Are you SURE your wheels/tires don't rub? LOL

I can't imagine going any lower than I already am. As it is I have to be VERY careful over speedbumps and there are some in town I think I might high-center on if I try to go over them lol, particularly in some apartment complexes.

around town might be a little troubling. yes, im going to leave it this low. the tires do rub on the fender due to the spacers but im waiting on ken at shine with those 30mm forsight fenders. so now im pulling the front fenders enough to where it doesnt rub as much lol

my old s13 was lower but then again i was in cali lol

the fronts might end up lookin like this

I had to use a super low profile scissor jack on my old RX-8, and it only fit in one spot. Use the scissor jack to get one side up in the air enough to get my 3.5" tall hand jack under it. Man, jacking that car up was a PAIN.

And negotiating speed bumps, pot holes, driveways, parking lots, gravel, rocks, sand, dirt, gum wrappers..

I have a couple pieces of 3/4" particle board that I can drive up on to get enough clearance to get my 3-1/4" jack under it. I get to do that in a couple days to change the oil actually, hehe.

i hate speed bumps and construction zones. there arent really any deep pot holes here in the springs, just crappy roads lol

i have to take the front bumper off and lift from here

then from the back i use the tow hook. total time to lift the car up is about 10mins maybe a little less
