    Ground clearance for 1970 911T

    Hi,
    I have a 1970 911T that's been lowered. The problem is that the drive on my house is underground and steeply sloped. When i begin to reverse off the pavement and into the drive the middle of the car will ground out on the highest point of the drive. Unfortunately its a rented house, so digging up the drive isn't an option.
    My question is: what is the ground clearance of the middle of the car at standard European and US ride height? I reckon i have about 10cm of clearance and will need about 20, which will make the car look ridiculous. I have it booked in for adjustment tomorrow and would like to know if i should go ahead with the adjustment or just move house!

    Thanks
    Paul

    Pawel...moj 911 jest 5.75 cali od drogi, do 'S' spoiler. Mam ten sam problem! Ale...kocham ze auto jest tak nisko. Jestem zaskoczony ze w Polsce sa stare 911. W niektorych zdjec Polskiego klubu, sa tylko nowe!
    Wszystkiego najlepszego...

    I've not seen any early 911 on the roads here. After the winter the roads have more potholes than tarmac!

    OK...my Polish sucks quite a bit too!!! Don't know what to tell you about the height issue. I know I love mine low. 5 3/4 inches from the bottom of the 'S' spoiler to the street. I just have to be very very careful...
