3 Wheels on the Ground!!!
As some of you saw ["Day 1...." Exterior mods section] I recently installed my GReddy front bumper and side skirts and Kenstyle rear. I am on stock suspension, stock 17'' rim, and stock tires. My driveway is an ******* and the front bumper is about 4.5'' from the ground...this is where my problem comes in.
I get out of the driveway just fine - I think. But getting in my back tire closest to the driveway [which ever way I enter from] comes off the ground and begins to spin...I can hear the car creeking and cracking!
Is this bad for my car? There is no other way to get in and out of it - I have to take it at a steep angle... The kit doesn't get painted until next Monday [28th] and I only drove it out so the shop could see the fitment and make notes of how I wanted it painted etc., and then I brought it right back home.
I do have 19x10.5 Ro_Ja's comming for the back rims and tires - will this help any? I really need some answers because I'd hate to loosen up or bend something on the car....I know my old car did this also when I kitted it and had to take it at an angle - but it was FWD and the rear wheel didnt start to spin really bad...
TIA!!!

its your sunroof seal (and other rubber seals). Keep them lubed and youre creaking will be almost completely gone. The seals in the G will dry out in months (not years). If you get them replaced, it will be a headache and the creaking will return in 2 months. I got fed up with the dealers 3M treatments and now I use Gummi Pfledge. Works much better, lasts much longer, doesnt stain paint.
