BMW i8 won't scrape with Pyle Driveway Curb Ramps!

We had trouble entering and exiting my driveway due to a steep curb. It wasn't steep enough to cause damage to the BMW i8 and Volkswagen Jetta vehicles if we pulled in or backed out carefully, takeing one wheel at a time. But, I noticed that I was having wheel spin because some of the wheels were coming off the ground. I also had some contact under the cars with the top of the curb, some days. Over time this causes problems for the vehicles, so I finally decided to do something about it.

    Yeah, I'm interested as well. I have the Bridgit one as too. I love it and it actually allowed me to drive up a rather steep driveway straight on in my i8! My Gt-R is lowered so I still have to angle up in that but it simply would not have been possible otherwise without scraping.

  • @PatsGarageOnline

    It totally depends on how much clearance you will have between the top of the driveway curb ramp and the top of the concrete curb. I couldn't do that with my i8, but your Stingray may clear it. I moved away from that house and left the curb ramps so I can't provide any actual dimensions.

    Thanks Pat! I'm curious what you think over time. Our Bridgit has been pretty good although they do move a little from time to time. The feel in car is soooo much better. I believe our curb might be a bit more angular than yours maybe? The Bridgit is really for a rolled curb but seems to work pretty well. Great video! Franny

    Thanks! Mine also moves a little. I needed to adjust them a tad since I installed them 4 days ago. My heavy truck is likely making them move more than the cars. But, I'll keep an eye on them. I think these are also better for a rolled curb but they still feel really good. I have to remove them when it snows. As you can see, I live on a somewhat busy 30MPH street, so it gets plowed often and these would get pushed down the road. LOL!

    As a side note, dimensionally the Bridgit product and this one are almost identical including the rear curvature. The only reason this one appears flatter is because of Pat's longer flatter curb entrance. I do agree that the Bridgit product is a little more substantial (mainly because the end pieces are beveled) but I couldn't justify spending the extra cash just to get 5. It's been a life-saver (or should I say, front air-dam saver) for my Porsche 911 Turbo.

    My curb ramps are 2.5" high in the middle. I did not have a choice of height options when I purchased my curb ramps. So, I bought these and gave them a try and they work pretty well. I have about 4" of clearance in the front of my cars, at the lowest point. The Corvette is similar so I believe it will work if you have a 4" high rolled curb.

    But what solution works for a higher road and a lower driveway? Where the slope is down towards the garage and the low clearance car scrapes going in because it basically teeters on the sidewalk/driveway edge for a second before driving further?

    That's a tough position to be in. It would seem the only solution would be to have the surfaces modified so there was less of a peak. I'm not an engineer so it's just a thought.

    I won't be using these I think I just need a piece of plywood and then I should be fine. Or I can just have a guy come out and see how much it would cost for them to fix the drive way ramp. We got a new car and the fender keeps hitting it going out of the drive way not so much going into the driveway.

    Alternatively, you could install a modest lift kit to your low vehicles’ suspension. I like this driveway solution all but for the need to remove a 200 lb dirty object every time roadwork like snow scraping vehicles need to access the pavement.
