However what I am worried about now is the scraping in the middle of the car, my old exhaust (Greddy SE dual) has visible signs of damage in the mid pipe area. I might get coilovers to help with that since on the lower perch I'm lowered 1.5 inches, ideally i would like to be around 1" to be more street friendly.

Thanks for all the input!
Or just put the spring on the upper perch then. Easiest/cheapest solution.

If I don't carry a certain amount of forward momentum going up my driveway, I will just sit and spin my inside rear as well. I'm not low enough to ground out anything though. 13" from hub to fender, about 1.8" drop from stock.

I would look at it as a good thing. Its an indication as to how well designed and rigid the chassis is. Compare it to something like a Fox (mustang) chassis; you can have a locked suspension (theoretical) and still not get wheel lift because of abundant chassis flex.

leave car as is. just pull e-brake some to drag the wheel that's free spinning. It causes lsd to lock and transfer power to other wheel. I have the same kind a driveway and do this on a daily basis. i just go slow. i also am on tein flex and have cusco sway bars front and rear.
