One thing you could do is put sand or thin long piece of plywood at the bottom of the drive way. This makes the driveways slope a lot more gradual so hopefully you will stop scrapping.

aftermarket coilovers can only adjust for damper not height....if you want height adjustment you need some sort of an airbag suspension system

i have Initial D and the height is pretty much the same as Velside 3. I have to use 45 degree method 90% of the time when get in or out of any driveway. Work every time.

use concrete to decrease the angle in the drainage area. Just put a steel pipe across for water flow and fill it in.

Yep that is exactly what I plan to do once I lower my car. Screw the homeowners association.
