go to home depot or lowes and build a custom mini ram where the dip is. i've seen it done before with several 2x4s and 4x4s. i'm not saying to go that direction but there's always a solution out there. sure it looks ghetto and maybe one of your neighbors will complain to the hoa, but i care more about my car if you ask me.

btw, you may get better suggestions if you take a picture of just your driveway and then your car on the driveway above where you barely make it.

behold the crappy answer club president

to the OP: it's all about compromise, with hydraulic you are looking at -100 performance in terms of weight and suspension

get some thick gauge sheet metal, a concrete drill bit (appropriately sized), and some bolts (also appropriately sized) and use them to "lengthen" your driveway entrance, reducing the angle from the road. I have the same problem with my comptech coilovers but I just deal with it.
