Another coilover thread!

Perhaps you should fit saggy suspension, it might slow you down and prevent the otherwise inevitable accident. Do you really need to corner any faster than you currently do in that thing?

His driveway is fine, my BMW (granted not lowered) got up it fine at many speeds, as does another member's MK2 ZS which isn't exactly high.

I think he just needs to take it slower/reverse up it.

Rob, no offense mate, but if you lived here and drove my car up it I'd let you say what you want. But simple fact is you don't :p

My car clears the driveway by about an inch, coileys will cause scraping!

It's a saloon car not a Lotus Elise. If fitting silly suspension means it wont even get up your driveway you cross the border into the world of chav. What next, 5 subs in the boot?

What will you do when you find a speed ramp, turn around and go back?

Lowering springs that do nothing but improve asthetics and stop you from getting on your driveway I would agree is silly (Oddly enough like my brothers RAPID RUDE RIDES FOCUS Y0!!!) (Which by the way does scrape, and badly everytime he leaves/enters the driveway now. But a set of decent coilovers?...err...no...

Close my eyes and pray to god, obviously.

Serious suggestion, slow speed reverse onto the drive ?

Also, the best way to go faster on the track is tuition, not coilovers. You've done like 3 half days or something ? I'm considering coilovers as my dampers are tired, but in honesty I may go stock Honda dampers and spoon progressive sprrings. Unless your dong lots of track days don't compromise your car. Speed this money on tuition and I guarentee you will shave seconds off.

planks? local toyo specialist has a v steep entrance no chance a lowered car could get up or down without scraping... he says he uses 2 planks to let the cars roll up at a better angle?

keep em in your boot..pull em out for speed bumps etc... you might also need a cone in there too - to put down whilst your in the road laying your planks...
