Can i lower/change my suspension?

[config]

As you can see from the videos/pictures, its pretty damn close to the ground... Do you guys think i can get suspension and still be able to make it up without bending off my front lip?

see if a friend with a lowered car can get in. for the longest time i was convinced that i couldnt get in my driveway if my car was lowered then my friend came over and his car is SLAMMED (95 LS with 17's and its lowered FOUR INCHES) and just go in slow and at the correct angle and its fine. try some different angles with your driveway first, going at a 45 degree angle works a lot better than straight. but going straight i wouldnt lower your car any...

if you got some bigger wheels you could lower it maybe an inch and it would have the appearance of being lowered while still being the same actual heigh of the ground (bigger wheels and lowered an inch = less wheel gap = appearance of being lowered)

Yeah the angles help out alot. My friend has a civic lowerd 2 inches with a body kit. It takes him 20 minuets to get out of his driveway.

probably not, if it takes that long to go over a bump to avoid scraping you will probably scrape anyway because think of how slow you would have to go to avoid it and 1 slip of the clutch/gas/brake and you'd scrape anyway. only his kit would scrape anyway, i have an integra lowered 3.5" in the front with no kit and i scrape the actual underbody of my car if i hit a pothole/bump.

last night i was driving along and i guess they started road work or something and i hit a pothole that was like 2 feet long, 2 feet wide, 5 inches deep. and i was going 40 cuz i didnt see it in time... that sucked.

If it takes that long to get over the curb, he should lay some 2x4 blocks of take a 4x4 & cut in half diagonally |\ <----- kinda like that
