Thanks Wais appreciate it man! Paypal sure takes a long time to verify that charge for your premier membership . I've been meaning to upgrade as well.
Haha, you should get a set, so you could lay out another set of nice wheels on your front yard. That picture was priceless.

I'm just waiting for confirmation from IB since I've already been charged by Paypal, they have 22 days to confirm my sale or I get refunded

Thanks man it means a lot. I love how conveniently low it is now, I don't really have to change much about how I drive, so thats nice. But I would like to bring the front and rear down so there is no actual gap from the tire to the fender, it isn't much now but that can change in time though.

Me and you both though man, my driveway wouldn't be bad if there wasn't a slope on the entrance. No matter how much of an angle I go in at, the slope is still very close to hitting my lip. I'll have to get a pic of what i'm talking about. I have less than a half inch in between the lip and slope of the driveway when at the most extreme angle.

Nice, upgrading the brakes is on my to do list. They'll look great on your car.

EDIT: This was my old Veilside V1 lip, but I doubt the Mine's lip is much better of a situation.
I almost didn't buy this house because of the driveway, but ultimately decided that was a pretty immature move so I've just been dealing with it for 3 years.

Yup, here's what I have to work with coming straight out on the Hotchkis springs (i.e. weaksauce drop):

Here's two pictures my brother managed to shoot when I was going in the driveway the other day. This is what I have to deal with daily. Your driveway seems like it might be a bit more forgiving than mine, although still a hassle. It is the middle of the slope where the lip gets closest to the ground.

Huh...yours does indeed look a bit steeper than mine. I'll have to try coming in forward at a steep angle tonight. Have you scraped yet since the coilover install?
What makes me super nervous is if it scrapes severely enough so that the bottom back edge of the lip (under the front bumper) would get caught on rough pavement and just tear off.

Yea, I'm not sure how it would have been with my Nismo sideskirts it definitely would be very close. It's just a hassle, but I guess there could be worse things happen. I'm just glad at the very least I could get a small drop and still get in the driveway.

Thanks man, thats the look I aim for. I always try to keep it clean and nothing too over the top.
I hope you have a wider driveway entrance so you could take a better angle. It's amazing what we have to go through to lower our cars. I don't think I could go any lower without hitting the lip though. I've tried everything possible to get more clearance.
