Get it on level ground then post. We can see the curb behind you.

But yes, still too low.

^It's because the front tires are on an incline. Lame thread is lame.

I think what the OP is trying to convey is that he lowered his car and now is too low because it scrapes coming into and leaving the driveway.

You don't want your car to scrape...raise it.

I stand corrected. I can no longer see the picture.

Its ok, the parts that scrape will eventually get smaller and no longer scrape.
Keep rolling it low.

Take the front air dam off, and reverse into the driveway.

No such thing as too low!

Lots of driveways cause the stock height to rub the air dam. I never thought about backing in though.
