Celica Forums General Discussion General Haa look at this

Look how much room i have getting up the drive way. Its like a pencil thick. I donw know how you guys with bigger drops survive.

another shot

i know im scared to drop mine 1 inch and add a body kit i dont know if ill survive but i want both badly

I go in and outta 50-75 driveways a week for my business, and thats the main reason I can never get a kit.

I even have high profile Cooper 50s to provide me another valuable inch or so and I still get the dreaded scraaaaaaaaaaapeage on occasion

wow, that's how my car looks like when i drive, lol. i have a 3inch clearance right now from my bumper to the ground. i have the buddy club 2 kit and i have a 2.25 inch tanabe drop on stock rims. I never scrape either. When i go in my drive way, i swear i have 1 mm of room clearance and i alway make it everyday..and everywhere i go, i never , ever scape.

the only time i scrape is on these real wide speed bumps. there like 4ft wide.

my car in my driveway...

It's weird, but from the angle of your pics, it almost looks like your back end sits significantly higher than the front. It just seems like the front bumper is slanted downwards.

I have TRD coilovers with the Kaminari kit and I have a HELL of a time with drive ways and entrances. I have to go in with about a 75-80 degree angle, and even then it's close. I've just given up on parking in driveways.

i got a bout 2 inches of ground clearince with my evo bumper

it looks weird casue in not all the way up the drive way. only the back end is up.

i woudl suggest making a little wooden ramp ont he end of ur driveway. may help can even be temp. I am thinking of making one when i get kit and dropped

lol
i cant even go down my drive way head on
i have to go in reverse to get out of it

My driveway is ok...but everywhere else isn't. You guys with kits and 2" or more drop...you must drive on an airport runway to not scrape. I have a vizage kit on stock rollers and i bottom out once a week...twice if i drive to the same store twice. I'm good with speedbumps...but it's always pulling outta joints. This is the reason I can't drop either...my kit is already scratched to shit on the bottom.

oh man...i wanted to take a pic of my car but cant find my digital cam. but mine is bout 1 inch off the ground comin off my driveway.

btw...i have stock bumpers

just gotta learn how to angle the car for ramps, spped bumps, etc.

I'm a little worried, now. I just got my Tein S-Techs in the mail today. I've got no kit but I'm still on the stock 15's.

this is my excuse for not dropping or kitting

Thats pretty low

Umm.. you guys are scaring me.
I just dropped the car with eibach prokit springs, and the car goes into the shop to have my kaminari kit put on tomorrow.

I've never driven a low car before, the only advice I got from my brother was "watch 3 feet in front of you, and take curbs on an angle" helpful.

I hope I don't mess up the kit the first day out of the shop...

2" drop with factory bumper and wheels. Never scraped. I do live in the delta though, there are no hills.

I have TRD lowering springs and I really want a Kaminari Kit. I am planning on getting 17's too, so It won't be too low will it? Can anybody tell me how much lower the Kaminari Kit is than the stock without action package?

UH OH! am i gonna be screwed, i just got 17"s and a ww kit and im about to get hotchkis springs , am i gonna be bottoming out everywhere i go??

Maybe, but not that bad. My old 00 GT with stock 15" and WW Kit was bottoming out on most places. Tons of scrapes when I look underneath the car.

its all about becoming a jedi master of the driveways!! may the force be with you
