About to drop on Tein CS v1 coils (it should be pretty much close dump)

I'm going to be living in this apartment during the summer but the garage parking is underground, I'm pretty sure I can make it in (like 80%) but not sure if I can get out, I will have an Admiration Lip on the car too.

What do you think?

To be honest, it doesn't look that bad. The first thing that came to my mind is your frame is gonna scratch. But if your worried about your lip you should be fine with some angles.

Try going to your future apartment and check it out first before you do anything.

^ wanna install the coils already they've been sitting in my trunk for the last month... haha. yeah frame may scratch and coming up i think exhaust may scrape too. im not scared coming down because i can just angle and turn in just how the mustang is (more diagonal though)

coming back up im not sure though

Well I wouldn't worry about your lip. Coming up if you can't and you get stuck you can either get wooden blocks ( waste of time unless you really really care) or gun through it like what I do :P

If you can make it in fine going forward, try going back out in reverse? Lol, tein cs coils still had good clearance on my car on full slam on all coils. I now have an additional inch lower with rca's. Install the coils buddy!

I have 18" wheels , lowered all the way max with tein cs v1 along with rca's, I used 2x4 wood for everything. The 2x4 will raise you car 2 inches and it even got my car up the alignment lift with out touching my tte lip that I just had painted. FYI, my lip is about 2 inches from the ground so I just bought a long 2x4 that's about 6 ft long and cutted it in half. They go for $5-7 if I can recall. I couldn't find some small blocks of wood so I bought the long piece of wood, took it to the diy cutting board in home depot, and hand sawed it in half.

As for placement of wood, I'd place the wood under your front wheels to clear your lip and then place some under your rears if you need to clear your exhaust or subframe. I advise having a good buddy place the wood and check while you drive very slow. Anyhow, this is why I want to upgrade to air suspension! Good luck bro!
