Well,

This garage is located down a driveway hill....basically u pull in then go down the hill and go inside the garage...

basically I got eibach springs with kyb agx shocks. I'm going to rent out a garage on my block.....problem is that when i went today to try putting car inside garage....2 problems:

1) As i begin to roll down, half way my front middle beam(on to which u usually put the lifting jack to raise up car) begins to scrape very so slightly...its not a problem i think that will do damage to car its just annoying cuz it passes as i keep going right away.

2)major problem: As the hill ends and i keep going the front bumper begins to get really close to pavement, and it begins to scratch and its just a messay scene.

-So for solution we put up some wooden boards to make the bottom of the hill smoother into a straight line so that the car doesn't hit the pavement...that seemed to work but front bumper still kinda grazed wood, but that's cuz wooden boards bend. If we get metal sheets for both wheels it should be fine.

But my question to you guys is....is there anything I could do to help in this(without putting stock shox back on or switching sox), any problems with me grazing the front center beam?

any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

 

I don't know if it will help, but it's worth a shot...Did you try backing into the garage? Or, if possible, going in on an angle and then straightening out.

I figure it's worth a try.

thanks for suggestion, but I've tried going in backwards and that was a problem because of exhaust was going to touch ground. Angle is not an option since there's other garages with borders near it.

thanks though!

 

You're on the right track. Using wood planks will probably be your easiest and most reliable way to get in and out.

My old car, a Volvo 850 Turbo, was very low to begin with. When I lowered it, it got SO low, normal floor jacks could no longer fit underneath the car. When I lowered the car after lowering the front end, I couldn't remove the jack, lol. I ended up having to use the emergency jack to lift the car off the jack. At the lowest point (where the control arm meets the chassis) I have less than 4" of ground clearence.

So what do I do to get lift the car when I work on it? I drive it up on planks. I stacked two sheets of wood together to create a step up. I took one about 2M long and about 2" thick, cut a 45 degree edge to one side, and attached a 1M long plank on top also about 2" thick, also cut with a 45 degree edge. So basically, I now have mini ramps which lift the car up 4".

If you were to build something like this (reinforce the parts that are flexing by placing more wood underneath them), I'm sure you could make the change in grade smooth enough to prevent scraping.
