hydrolics.... :( ? need help asap
soooooooo..... i moved into a new appartment last week..... and its great except for 1 giant problem..... my car cant clear the ramp down into the garage because the angle is like _/ ..... literaly... so add that into my drop springs and my lip kit and my front tires are almost off the ground when i hit that........ i already f*cked up my front lip and popped off my bumper clips
but my dad actualy told me that he would pay for some kind of adjustable suspension that i can work from my seat......... so im thinking yay... i get to be a beaner.....
and try not to bash on the riceyness..... im just trying to explore my options
and yes i realize i could put my oem suspension on but i dont want that.
i need suggestions..... i dont know anything about bags or those motorized coilovers... i need costs and a start in the right direction..... any info would greatly be appreciated.

hydraulics are not an option......
if I were you, and you wanted some sort of adjustable suspension I would go with a very simple strut bag setup...they make bolt in kits for the civic these days so no more cutting and welding.

How about just going 20mph+ and just fly in the garage, land clear on the ground. Seriously, just get 2 (2x4) and put them so that you have a flatter angle, try that first. However, just imagine how soft and comfortable your ride can be on those air bags!!! (like in the Merc)

the reason my dad said he would pay for this is because of just pure ergonomic reasons...... ill be pulling into that garage atleast twice a day...
it seems that i can just get front strut bags.... but i dont know much about where or how

i got a 1 year lease.... and will be living there for probably 2.... and i refuse to have to cary a peace of wood in my car and take it out atleast 800 times a year........... backwards is an interesting idea...... ill try that and hopefully not break off my muffler 
but i'm starting to like the idea of front bags.
