Drive your car over that peak and measure how much clearance you will have. Done. Youll know how much lower you can go!

Someone wanna test out my garage for me<3. Boba, popcorn chicken, and egg puffs on me!
get coilovers and you can adjust it to your liking so you can clear your driveway instead of someone else scraping their car so you can justify lowering your car or not

It's part of the game. I've scraped frame a couple times when I was at no finger gap. That was fun lol
Am I able to adjust it myself or do I need a profession to do it lol

You can adjust yourself. I can swing by and eyeball for you next time when I pass by! I'm lowered on v3s and have a front lip. I'm pretty sure I wont be able to make it up yours if I can BARELY make it up mine unless it's angled.

I used to tell people driving a lowered car is no problem in SF (still stand by it) however after going to one of my buddie's homes in SF I stand corrected. Certain homes in SF are nearly impossible to navigate even in a normal car, so if you have one of those crazy narrow driveways yea I can understand.

His home had a garage that had I swear a 30 degree incline drop and assuming you can make that, you're better not be too wide or too tall or you'll take out the mirrors or roof rack! If I lived in SF and had a house like that I'll just buy a junker and rent a space for my cars. He had to literally fold his mirrors just to clear the sides of his driveway in his BMW. I'm sure some of you know what kind of house this is....haha
