I got a pretty steep driveway, and its making me very sad, that is because i plan to get a body kit/lower it etc.
I cant park on the roadside and i need to get my baby into the garage so... hmmm...
Anyone got a genius type idea?
btw my driveway is something like 30-35 degrees...

 

There are rally spec front EVO kits that don't have the bottom lip on them, they hang around the same distance from the ground as the origional. If the bottom lip is totially necessary, I have seen a motorised botom lip on a GTR Skyline. Anyway there is a couple of options.

 

price wise, ive got cash for the kit, but probably not enough for this motorised front lip thing u talk about...
anyway, if i may draw a diagram to show the potential problem.....

sorry about the dodgy diagram hahhaa but i am genuinely concerned, the problem i figure is not the front or rear bumpers(as much) as the side skirts, ive seen a lancer with these side skirts that kinda meet in the middle of the car, like they angle upwards... anyway anyone got any ideas?

 

well the people on VWvortex and my friend they slam there cars really low to the ground. They use 2x4's to go up the drive ways that are steep

 

I see what you are worried about, but the side skirts will not hang any lower than other items underneath the car such as the exhaust. It should not cause too much of an issue. I feel the rally spec front Evo kit it the way to go for you.

 

maybe is you try puttin the kit on, and then see if you think lowering is really necessary... sometimes with a kit the car looks low enough anyways...

the other option is adjustable suspension... a bit more expensive (quite a bit actually) but it is mega worth it, coz you go from slamed to normal ride height quite easily. plus with lancer's most performace stores already have an adjustable suspension kit made up, so it is quite a bit easier (and cheaper) for our cars.

p.s. you could take it to the extreme and get airbags and bounce up your driveway!!!
