This is actually the first car i have owned that i can actually pull in my driveway without scraping. However, it is still at stock height and when i put springs on it, i'm sure then it will scrape. I have to angle it in now, but that might not help anymore even with a slight drop.
I might not lower it just for the fact i love being able to wash my car in the driveway in the shade. That and not having to slow down to 5mph for speed humps/bumps.

My friend got pulled over in a lowered 240 and the cop said he left the parking lot at a hazardous angle. Just FYI cops sometimes can be mean.
I only scrape on the most monster of curbs and I'm on coils.

^^^ That's about how low I am and don't scrape that much. Once in a while. My Rally-armour mudflaps scrape a good bit on some stuff tho. 
If I ever scrape it is because I was going too fast/not taking it at an angle, or the road is just f****d up

Almost every day. I'm lowered about an inch. I have to pull into my GF's driveway at an 80 degree angle just so I don't scrape. I also know all those other spots where I have to be careful.

just as everybody says go in at an angle and slow, more the better - this way there is less "car" in fron the tire making contact at the trough. I've seen way lower cars make some pretty scary hills/driveways.

Colorado roads do suck, and I managed ok.
I think a lot of people are being big babies. I had a slammed 240 in Colorado Springs. I did scrape, but usually just the exhaust.
You need to just figure out the roads. For example, when I'm going to this one store, I gotta drive around the back because my car would get stuck otherwise.
I HAVE gotten stuck pretty badly though. To the point where I would have to get out of the car and push because the rear wheel somehow ended up in the air. lol

I'm also stock w/o any lips and I have to angle on some lots. My city is not lowered car friendly and if I'm already struggling, there's not way in hell I'm going to lower!
