Default lowered car tips

Sup everyone, I just got done lowering my car today and it looks awesome. I was just wondering what some of your fellow luders do when you drive up your driveway. the front scrapes a bit, and so does the very edge of the muffler. I can't really go from an angle since i have another car parked on the leftside of the driveway, and theres another car on the right side of the sidewalk. Last but not least, are there any other tips to driving a lowered car? Thaaanks.

Angle is key for a lowered car. No angle, your probably screwed on your driveway. Start saving for a new bumper. J/k , but watch our for dead animals in the road, remember you cant clear them anymore, you have to go around them or just run them over with your tire. Also start thinking about a camber kit very soon if your drop is 2" or more. Better to spend the money up front rather than to keep spending it down the road.

Go get a 4 wheel alignment done, make sure they adjust the toe and get a printout of the alignment results. Once you have the alignment done you will know if you need a camber kit.

On that same note, WATCH FOR POTHOLES!!! The lude I just bought sat for almost 8 mon. because the guy hit a nasty pothole and fucked it up pretty bad. He parked it till I bought it off him for next to nothing.
