Ok im sure some of you have had this problem...My driveway has the rolled over curb thing instead of just a flat slope and i didnt know if there was anyway to get around this, this i the reason why ive been optimistic about lowering my car (look at the pics in ride pics) it needs in really bad but im not willing to park my car outside. Thanks

If you get TRD lowering springs, you won't have any problems.

i have taht too, i got the stock bumper though with tanabe ss-pro coilovers and they just barely make it over. i can drive in sideways, i would drive up onto the sidewalk on one side first then the other side. but now i bought a long peice of wood and put it at the base of the curb so i can drive straight in.

The TRD front sits just as high as stock, if not higher. You shouldn't have a problem with TRD springs. Oh, and take your driveway at an angle when you pull in.

Tell me about it..i have three inches off the ground. It's pretty funny when i swerve(spelling) while driving on the highway, people think i'm dodging something big such as a dead animal, pothole etc, so they swerve also, and to find out i was dodging a soda can. LOL. But i love the look so whatever. I would suggest parking outside. Before i got my car painted, I had the same driveway as you, most of the time i make it while going at it with an angle, but some rare occasions such as nighttime, i scrape. Now after i got the paintjob, i park out by the driveway. Better safe than sorry. :thumbup:

i am all the way down on my tein basics and have the action package, when i have my stock wheels on i can go up the steepest of driveways and parking lots, i surprised myself many times, speed bumps are another story, i can clear most of them. just take it slow and as much of an angle as possible, i reccomend tein coilovers so you can always adjust, (lower is better) and if you get 18s it will give you more ground clearance
