Cup Kit for the Evo with Ohlin suspension

Hi guys. so I'm having some issue getting the Evo off of our street with new Ohlin coilovers. Basically my APR splitters are too low sitting on 18" Volks. I've already raised the car so high that anymore would just look terrible.. giant gaps.

anyways.. I know FA has a coilover system that includes an air cup kit. However, I don't really want to give up the brand new Ohlins I got.

Any other suggestions?

currently I'm reversing the car out of our private street and using giant wood boards to get off the driveway. I can't fix the street either because that portion belongs to the city. still managed to rip the front bumper a little..

thanks!

Someone in my neighborhood uses a steel grate that they cut a bit so it would sit snug with the pavement / slope of the driveway. Allows water to pass and gives them clearance for their car. Something to consider. The steel grate is like something you would see a walkway made out of, cut to fit. So about 1" thick but mesh

thanks! it's a good idea but I have a suspicion that anything I build will get stolen real quick. I have to hide these wood boards behind trees or they get stolen too. if i build a ramp, I have to drag it a few hundred feet back to my house. That's why I'm using wood

Ok, then time to start thinking about raising your car to a functional level. Else you just need to trailer it to wherever you are going, slide it off the trailer, and look at it in the new location, then put it back on the trailer and take it home. You will keep the miles super low but yeah, your car is too much show car and not enough function if it's your daily driver.

Raise it up a bit and enjoy the car, it's not all about looks at the end of the day... Good luck!
