Lowering Opinion

I would like to lower my tsx and researched several options, but my driveway is the biggest problem. Will I scrape my front spoiler even with a-spec?

A-spec is only one inch I believe so you should be barely okay as long as you go very slowly

btw nice color

not much room to angle into garage since parent's cr-v takes up other half of space.
and do you see all those pine tree leaves on the driveway? they all gets on the car and it's a hassle to blow them off.
also it's safer in the garage with all the stuffs i've done to the car.

At worst you scape the paint off the bottom of your lip, but no one can see it anyways. I have no paint on the bottom of my front lip, but you can't see it unless you're on your back

You are just going to have to do some funky manuvering....or park in the street....or rearrange cars.....

Ask my parents. They know what it is all about

Yes you will scrape! Looks like you already do. Aside from the scraping, if you hit it too fast or back out while scraping you can rip off you front bumper. I know from experience! It's not hard to put it back on, but you can damage other stuff as well.

Can you back up into your driveway? or is the part where the driveway meets the road just as close to your lip?

why not just get some wood and drive up the planks... well depending on how heavy the car and the stregth of the wood it should work. maybe some other type of material but that could be another option

the picture is when i backed into garage. our driveway slopes down and slopes back up at the entrance in order to prevent water going into garage. i was thinking of cementing it and somewhat even out the slopes for better angle

Backing up will make it scrape worse than going forward....usually that is the case anyway....

hrm... would've thought it'd be a little easier but I guess with the way the car'll be leaned forward there's more weight on the front wheels thus compressing more and gettingi closer to the ground than the rear.

Guess you're looking at street parkinig
