Title: curb has not been dropped
Post by: michaelb on June 01, 2012, 05:49:16 PM
Hi All
I am in the process of buying a house which already has a drive for 2 cars but the curb has not been dropped.
It will take 2 to 3 weeks for the council schedule the job
Is there anything I can buy to put in between the street and the curb so my 5” of the ground RX7 can get up my drive?
Some people say a bit of wood will do but there must be something better then that?
Regards,
MichaelB

Are you on an adjustable height set up? Is it worth raising the height slightly for the sake of your front lip?

Thanks for that, it may have to be a 3" wood, but I thought that there is something on the market which starts at 1" and finishes at 4" ? sort of a slope..

I have adjustable tain suspension but I love the look and the drive ...I need to find another solution until I drop the curb..but I will not rule out this one, thanks for that
