Long story short--- Low civic+steep driveway means I need ramps....where can I go to get ramps or just a plate of metal to decrease how steep it isgetting into my driveway?

i dont think they really sell something like that, get a bag of quikcrete and a 2x4 and graid it out to less of an incline, or get a skillsaw and some wood and get to work

you can fab one up, or just do what everone else does with lowered cars. go up sideways and slow.

it has nothing to do with how extremely low my car is---this is just an abnormally steep driveway opening. I need something to extend the angle to make it more go-upable. (thats not a word i know)

I am also looking into front bumper quick releases as well

yeah, your best bet is to fab something up. take some measurements of your drive way and make them accordingly.

StreetEG

where would I get the materials to even do so---- like metal thick enough to support the weight?

home depot is your friend

h22 civic

the ramps prob wont help ya due to the fact that the steeepness of the ramps will prob make your front bumper hit before your wheels are on the ramp i had the same prob

WEll I am going to combine it with a quick release bumper-- I just was wondering if there was a company who made thiese, or if i would have to fab them up myself.

park on the street? and 2x4s can hold the weight of almost any honda. i have this same problem with my garage. home depot will have everything


as far as ppl telling you to raise it screw that its your car and if you want it dumped than dump it to the frame. everyone i had a 2dr 92 accord ex that was slammed as low as th coilover could let it go wus tucking front and back was a ruff ride but i had that for looks and the civic for everything else.

Quick release bumper? Well kiss that front-end good-bye....Why dont you hinge the bumper with a lock tab so you can lift it like a hood when you go up the drive-way. If you quick release the bumper someone will walk by and walk off with your bumper.....

StreetEG

well it will be in a garage....

If it's your house that you OWN...you could repave a new slope that is more mellow using blacktop or concrete... ...but if you rent...see if the landlord can do something for you, (you better come up with a super reason for doing so though).

Just use some 2X4s
