Default Will she scrape

I just bought a 07 S2000 and am moving this week (maryland to ohio). I am wondering if the car will scrape on the new driveway. The driveway has the typical new neighborhood driveways where the curbs are rounded and there is no difference between the curb if it is in front of a driveway or not.
So, will she scrape?

Go at an angle for best results.

It's impossible to tell without pictures or at least a better description/measurements. That being said, I also just bought a stock 07 and it's not ridiculously low or anything. Like the poster above mentioned, if you take them at an angle, you can go up pretty steep inclines without scraping.

First off....glad to hear you're moving to Ohio, I'm from the Cincinnati area but go to school in Columbus. What part are you moving to?
Can't get enough Ohio S2k owners

To answer your question I've driven up and down some pretty bad driveway curbs. You just need to make sure that you go at an extreme angle depending on how steep it actually is. I've never scraped before (Stock height).

At stock height take an angle and GO SLOW! You should be fine

So they have the curb wrapping around the neighborhood, and it doesn't dip down to the road for your driveway??

Run to home depot and pour some asphalt on there

No, he is saying they have the rounded angled curbs that don't change at the driveway cut.

Come over and post in the Ohio forum. I'm sure a Toledo guy will go scope the scene. Do you have a front lip on your car?

Even if you don't, here's something I recently added to my 07' because my car does scrape going into my garage.




It's called a lip splitter from Coastal Metals. It's takes any impact from a curb and prevents the car from being damaged.

The best part is that you're unable to notice it unless you get down and look under the car!
