I've avoided scraping places where my old, lowered '97 GSX used to scrape...

...which is encouraging me to stay with the OEM ride height even more.

 

I sometimes scrape going up my driveway on stock if I don't pay attention.

 

WHen i test drive the g35c, i've scraped the bottom upon exiting a driveway as well. WIll chaning to stiffer suspension/shocks help prevent this?

 

i bottom out in my driveway very often and it is the worst feeling ever. Its common to bottom out with a stock suspension even tho its absolutely horrible

 

heres a tip.. when you're backing out.. turn the wheel all the way to the right or left when your rear wheels hit the apex. assuming your drive way is wide enough.

haze, that wont help

 

thanks for the advice.

 

never bottomed out yet.

 

I've high centered with the car at OEM height. Also, since I added the stock lip I scrape that too (at stock height).

You might as well lower it, you're going to scrape anyway. Haha

 

ssssssssure have

 

Man, I thought I was the only one having problems w/ scrapping on driveways. My driveway is angled downward leading to the garage w/ walls on both sides of it, which gives me no choice but to back my car straight in. It used to be bad w/ my BMW, which was lowered. The sound of my bottom srapping the driveway gives me the shrills!!

 

cant afford to hurt my G.
i chose not to lower it
i know that i will have tons of scratches and cracks all over my front and rear bumpers by the driveway of my house.

 

I bottom on my driveway. I live up in Burbank, and we have underground parking. The driveway down below is narrow, so there is barely any angling you can do. Oh well, no body kit or drop for me!

(And yes i know how to angle, after having many cars with drops and kits)

 

On my way home from the dealerhip, I stopped off at a friends apt. She has underground parking.... i try to go underneath.. and just the worst, horrid, shrieking sound as i scrape my 2 hour old g from front to back on the hump. never again will i park there... getting out was just as painful. you just gotta be careful.

As quite a noob in driving, can someone provide a simple diagram for me as to how to angle the car into the apex and/or parallel or something?

 

I barely clear my driveway at my apartment and I am stock right now. I'm puttin my Volks on and droppin it with Prokits next week... I'm gonna scrape for sure but what can I do?

I figure it's gonna scrape but I'm still lowering it!
