Fix your driveway, and then don't worry about what bumpers you can and can't get.

ive tried, the city wont allow it as i live on a hill, and the driveways need to be at a certain angle for the water to run down properly.

Get Air ride, and raise it when you're pulling into you driveway? lol

My driveway is always steep, I have to back down into my garage or else I scrape... I've actually considered selling the house so I can drop my car, not kidding!

I know what you mean, as ridiculous as it sounds. In my case hopefully I can get the end of the driveway regraded so that I can ditch my hotchkis springs and go lower with full street coilover setup.

You could just buy a large sheet of wood, reinforce it and keep it in you garage. Then when ever you need to get in/out of your drive way you just lay down the wood, drive up it, and then put it back in the garage.

if you wrecked a Veilside V1 lip, then your best bet is leaving your bumper alone - all will be at least as low as the Veilside, with most being even lower

I've compared my nismo edition front to a V2 on stock springs versus my 1.5" drop. The V2 is an inch lower than mine.
