Front Suspension Lift for GT-R?
Are there any GT-R owners that have installed a front suspension lift system? I see there is a KW Suspension Hydraulic Lift System listed for the GT-R, however, I'm a little leary of installing something that might compromise the performance of the stock suspension on the GT-R > https://autotalent.com/products/kw-s...-amg-gt-r-2018
I'd like to trade up from my F430 Spider and SL63 AMG to a GT-R, but I live on a mini-mountain and my driveway is so steep that I can't exit my drive in the SL without scraping unless I activate the front end lift. No front end lift on the F430, but I can just barely back out without scraping. The GT-Rs that I've looked at appear to have even less front end clearance. I'd modify the driveway but can't see any obvious way to reconfigure it.

The new C8 corvette with the GPS activated front end lift really has this problem solved. Hopefully, other manufacturers (including Mercedes) will adopt this new technology.

i had a lift system like this put on my 360 Spyder (it was lowered 1") - it was a puck system that sat under the coilover spring that had an air bladder that would inflate 1.5" at the press of a button. I think I paid about $2K for it but zero impact or noise with suspension and MUCH easier navigation for steep driveways.
