Need suggestions of how to raise my '13 fr-s up by a little bit

Keep in mind that 0.8" more diameter will only raise the car 0.4", and the 1.7" would only raise the car 0.85".

Ok, one more thought. Have you tried crossing the bottom of the driveway at an angle? It worked for me several years ago.

Unfortunately no. Like I said, it's a very thin ramp and is squeezed between two condos. No room to maneuver until after I am at the bottom of the ramp.

Report this issue to the condo corporation. You car is stock height and this is unacceptable.

Hopefully you aren't renting the condo.

To be fair, the stock ride height of the twins is lower than your regular Econoboxes and SUVs

Still, the stock height meets all regulations.

This! The car meets the Canadian requirements.

Safe to say it it the condo's responsibility to make sure the ramp accomodates all standard unmodified street cars.
