My son's best-friend's driveway has a similar horrendous curb (the Municipality must have figured on LOTS of repaving and didn't want to have to re-do the curbing until after about 5 or 6 asphalt jobs), even before lowering I always scraped until I entered at an angle so that each wheel hits at a different time. Now there is no scaping, even after lowering. If you have the room, try it.

I checked on that. The city will not allow me to cut the curb.

LOVE my Eibachs...

Installed a few weeks after I purchased my Cruiser in 2001...

No problems with scrapes on the front end of my Surf Cruiser... If I see a steep driveway, I just adjust the way I approach it... If you drive up on bit of an angle - you should have no problems...

Ride is a bit stiffer but handles great around curves even at higher speeds...

I would definitely recommend them... LOVE MINE!!!


BEFORE EIBACHS




AFTER EIBACHS (and a few mods)
