Hey guys, been a while since I've been on here as I havent done much to my car lately. However, I am moving back up to school next week and I'm facing a dilemma.

The driveway at my new house is terrible. And I mean terrible. Steep *** incline, and therefore I cannot get into the driveway unless I jack up my bumper real bad.

I'm lowered on 350z H-techs and currently have a Kuruma Z front bumper, so I have pretty poor ground clearance even though I have a mild drop.

I plan to trade my Kuruma for something else and am curious as to what my best choice in bumpers would be.

Right now i'm between a nismo and a stock sport bumper. My question is, does anyone know the difference in clearance between the kuruma, nismo, sport, and stock? I know the nismo is probably the lowest of my choices but looks the best

Any input would be appreciated, thanks!!

 

It's not going to be much different in height change, can you just place a 2x4 on the curb area of your driveway?

 

I'd try anything before I changed my KurumaZ bumper, 2X4 or 2X6! I need to do a 45 degree angle to enter/exit my driveway, can I assume you've tried that?

My driveway at home is pretty jacked as well but I can get in there without a scratch, I know all about the 45 degree angles to get up everything Just something you learn with the bumper haha.

I mean I could use a 2x4 or something to get up, but its going to be too big of a pain in the *** for how often ill use the driveway and where its located. Its like a driveway and then a huge narrow incline with no room to hit it from an angle.

The roads are so bad around me I need something higher anyway. I love my Kuruma like no other but its taking too many hits and once snow comes around itt'l be worse. To be honest the nismo really isnt even practical either. I imagined the sport bumper would be a decent amount higher so i could get in there easier though

 

Stock sport looks awesome, do that

 

The sport bumper doesn't sit that low, I scrape the plastic piece that goes across the front more than anything else.. Nismo isn't that low either, its just straight across the bottom so it looks lower..
