My Z's bumper drags if I back up my driveway.. at stock height..So, life will be interesting when it gets a little bit of low, lol. Also, I can get stuck pulling into my local Dairy Queen, in and out of a gas station near by, and in and out of my auto insurance companies parking lot. Anyone else have these issues at stock height? lol

i like how your solution to these problems with your DD is "let's make it worse"

My father's 330xi scrapes when he doesn't back up, oddly enough.

Most cars seem to scrape more if they don't back up..mines the opposite it seems, at least in my driveway

I don't scrape that much. Occasionally, but not normally.

I don't have this problem, but that is because whenever there is a possible trouble spot I take my time usually.

I only scrape in the spots I listed..as far as I know, haha.

It scrapes a bit no matter what if I back up, lol, is better if I go slow though (which I do when backing). Usually I just park forward though, doesn't seem to scrape if I go forward.

Luckily, Ze A4 isn't super low. But I've managed to scrape my way up the driveway.

Would think it wouldn't be too bad with it being a Audi and all..because Quattro, lol.

Yeah, Haha. It's mainly me at fault for that.

I'm now having an affair with this Un. It's a little bit lower than the B7. But not that much. It's going to get a small drop.

My dad used to have a Lexus GS300 w/a small trailer hitch for bike racks. It was very low, and scraped on EVERYTHING. It was steel too, so it sounded like someone smacking the ground with a metal baseball bat and then dragging it along behind them.

Lmao, nice. The Beetle in the backgrounds exhaust actually drags worse then the Z's bumper. One of 2 reasons the Beetle isn't in the driveway..the other being that it is a Beetle, and thus it leaks oil

Lol, alright. Come to think of it, the Beetle's exhaust drags worse then the Z's front end. That said, the Beetle needs some height in the rear. It's got some sag to it, so sitting below stock height in the rear, lol
