Serious Question here. Ok so we all know I need to lose the S-Techs and get coilovers. This summer when I work I am getting Function Form Type 1 and Skunk 2 LCA's. Problem is my driveway has a huge dip and right now I scrape my Lip off of it and the lip is already cracking around the bolts so I try to avoid my driveway, but I need to be in the driveway to work on the car and clean it out. So what should I do?
I need to be in the driveway, but I scrape as it is let alone if I go another 1" with coilovers I won't have a lip or bumper?!

Same thing happened to my lip when my car was ~1/2" off the ground.
That driveway blows! I am not sure if I would even lower my car until I find a better place to park!
That is not a dip, it is a steep incline. Not sure if a something other than more rocks could help that.

WTH is your last question again? I don't see it
When I first installed my lip kit, I only had it held up with 2 screws on each side (like you pictured) Nothing on the bottom holding it (bad idea). I went for a cruise (only had the lip on for 15 min at this time) and on the way back I felt a bump while on the highway. Looked in the rear view... yup, it fell off and I ran it over.
I got back to the area 10 minutes later (off the highway, get back on the other way, get off again, and back on the path I was going) and shockingly only had the damage that you have pictured. It must have been ran over about 5-10 times and some how made itself to the side of the road.
I would say yes to coilovers only because you can adjust it as needed. In the winter time, you can raise it up a little bit to deal with the snow, and then back down again when you are ready. If you are scraping with a lip now, 1" lower you would still be scraping, but worse most likely. Not sure what to say about that one. Maybe thick wood boards would help with it?
