some updates...
i think you guys can guess what happened here. supalows + new small, steep driveway = this....   this is the reaer height (very low) with nothing in the boot or back seat...   destruction after few days of keys to new house.. so im thinking of goin back to my std springs while i find some lows, not supa lows so i can park in the garage. also few more pics of my wheels =D     and finally took a few snaps of my old wheels - for sale with 60% left on stock tyres, the lot $650. pm me! link: http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...43#post3306643    thanks guys.

Well, the wheels look great on the sedan, but as for the scratches...probably not so great! Fair old scrape that one.

Car looks great S-P,
- just one thing missing....... (actually two /o- -o\ ) Re - the drive way, I know this sounds a bit odd, but what if you reversed up it and in to the garage? I had to do this with a very low Magna wagon I once had, on a similar style driveway. The scratches on the drive are like scars on your body man. In time you'll like them as they remind you of what happened. You may not have SUMPA for ever! Gee, I'm very Confucious this morning aren't I?

Sump, you car looks great and I feel your pain. What part of the car hit the driveway?
My driveway is alot steeper than yours yet my car scraps the exhaust. I've only lowered it a little but the rear skirt didn't help much either. I'm currently looking for a place to live and one of the most important things i'm looking at is a flat driveway so I can lower it further.

Here's a suggestion. Put something in the garage that will allow you to drive up a little higher, before entering fully. so, a home made ramp about half a meter in, 5-10cm high that lifts the car a little higher which avoids the scrape, then lowers as you drive further into the garage.
