      His driveway is steep as fuck, that why he said that. It's the kind you have to enter very carefully.

        As a funny side note, before he lowered his car we tested getting into his garage with mine. I'm pretty sure mine is a bit lower, and entering the garage the thickness of my THUMB wouldn't have fit under my rocker and the lip of his garage at the lowest point =o

          Mine's parked out in front of the house underneath a 150 year old Oak tree under a 1/2" sheet of ice. And I'm lower than you on 17's.

          Your retort makes no fucking sense.
          I live in the ghetto so i dont feel my car is safe outside and car paints dont like extreme weather conditions so thats why i park it in my garage. if it was lower in the front i wouldn't be able to make it over the crest of my driveway. do you get it now?

                i feel the same T Verdier. i live in ghetto apartments where the garage is open and it's in the lowest level. i have to go through two speed bumps on two direction changes, both where the steepness of the pavement changes. and when i finally get to the sidewalk, there's a pothole that never saw repair, it's either i have to angle in extreme and totally block the incoming lane or just go to the opposite side which grinds my lip for a good while and i can't avoid it.

                and in the garage itself, there's always that cat i can't ever catch. there's always paw prints on my hood and attempts to go up on my roof. i also discover mysterious scratches on the car from time to time..

                i wish i could move.

                      Looks great, I have the exact same suspension, I had all spring pads removed and yes its a bit lower, they settled down even more after a while and I even noticed them soften up just a bit after about 6 months of driving around. Awesome springs. After I get some smaller wheels back on I might want to drop it even more :)

                        I hit my oil pan on a speed bump because i couldnt see and only one wheel went over the bump so the corner of the bump was right were my pan would be. it wasnt hard in fact i laughed because it was my first time scraping the pan. poped my scraping cherry i guess you can say.
