get an SUV.

Or angle in. That usually solves all sorts of clearance problems. Unless of course the car is REALLY low, then you had better be living in the flattest land ever made.

I think it looks AWESOME raised with the right wheels and tires. Look at Cusco for your needs.

DAMN!!!









Pics are taken with the car at a complete stop and the wheels at the point where they begin the climb. It scraped a little going straight in and didn't on an angle. If there was any snow, I wouldn't make it. Really, kind of wanted this to work.

Garage
Look up saggy butt spacer for the Legacy. Should have others that will fit others like WRX and Forester. People use it in the rear to level out a spring drop. Also look for stock spring pads that might be slightly taller.

I don't want to spend more money on a car that is brand new...I'll just wait, who knows, maybe I'll get the driveway fixed. There is always the Abarth.

You can get these small bags that mount on top of any coilover assembly between the coil and the top mount. Drive with them fully deflated, then inflate to give clearance over speed bumps or your driveway.

What's wrong with cheap curb ramps or reversing the orientation you normally pull into your driveway?
