If you haven't seen my thread about getting my car lowered yesterday, check it out:
https://g35driver.com/forums/v36-bra...e-springs.html
I need help getting into my garage now. Here are some pictures of the driveway.
The whole driveway:

This is not giving me any trouble:

Here is the trouble area:


Since my two car garage has two seperate doors, it would be really hard to drive in at an angle as some has suggested. Do you think backing up into the garage will be any better?
Any other suggestions are welcomed

Wow... I didn't realize the top of the hill was right at the garage door.
I assume it doesn't matter if you back in or go in nose first, right?

Backing up will get it into the garage, but backing in from the street will tear your front up more once your back end raises. Unless that left side is flatter than the right. Which it looks to be. Maybe back in at a angle from left to right?

Angle and then back in.

Backing up seems to be easier on the car. The driver needs some
practice backing up the steep driveway straight but I will figure it out.
We bought this at Home Depot to soften the impact of the scraping, it seems to help out.


We were talking with someone in PepBoys and they recommended getting a concrete person out and having them do some grinding on the area where I am scraping. Any thoughts on this?

Could ya make some small ramps (wood, rubber, plastic) just to get you over that little hump? Even if it would wind up in the middle of the garage door you could put a small one on either side that might do the trick. Looks like something about an inch high would be enough to get you over that area.
