Problem with steep driveway

[GR1109LE]

Hey guys, we just moved into out new house and I've got an issue. Driveway entrance is too steep to a point Supra will scrape trying to go up. I did not try yet (she is in storage)

I use my Audi S6 as my daily and even on highest suspension setting, it will scrape unless I go in at a angle.

What are you guys using that have the same issue? I looked at Bridjit curb ramps but I don't think that will work.

Can you cut down the driveway more?

The driveway goes up alot from the road as the house sits high off the road. I will try to post a picture to describe it. I don't think I can cut the driveway

Same issue here and go in and out nothing more than a 45 degree angle. No need to be in a rush either way and you'll be fine... Or move..

Can't move, just moved in month ago. ??I have to come up with a solution so I can bring the Supra home and enjoy it a little more before weather is crap.

That looks much like mine... Hit it at a 45 degree angle or more... Once the tire is on the driveway... there will be no scraping. Lessons learned from a '91 NSX... It's all about the angle.

I'm going to give it a try tomorrow. I got the update for racerom almost 2 months ago and still haven't installed it because I can't bring the car home ?

You'll be fine... Take it slow and trust the angles... The highest point between the wheels on this lady was 4.5 inches and I tackled all the steep entrances.... You'll be ok...

Thank you for the tips, I am definitely giving it a go tomorrow. If it scrapes, it will be a good excuse for a nicer lip ?

yeah honestly just dont enter or exit straight on and you should be fine. This car on stock suspension will clear parking stops no problem. You shouldnt have an issue

Don't be... lol... Just pull up parallel to the curb and when the tire clears the corner of the driveway... turn in, drive up and park it. Get on here and post up how well it went and how you left no plastic at the street. ??

I freaked out and drove straight to my detailer when I got a rock chip about 2mm from a rock flying off an R8s tire when blew passed it, scrape on the bumper would be rough. But, you guys are giving me the confidence to try. ???
