Has anyone know of any performance springs that are stock height for a 240SX? Due to the angle (~10 degree slope) of my drive way I can't really lower my more than maybe a 1/2 inch without risking hitting my oil pan when going into my garage or dragging my exhaust.

Modern day coilovers can be set at or very near oem ride height, with adjustability of both spring seat hat and spring preload.

Looks like I'm stuck with stock parts then, the only ones that I have found so far that will allow stock ride height are Tein HE and even these drop the rear 3/4 of an inch at max height.

I doubt you can go up your driveway at an angle, but you can try making a mobile, small ramp out of plywood and/or pieces of wood.

Looked at the situation again this time with me outside the car instead of my wife. Looks like the heat shield before the cat is the lowest point at the break over point ~2.5 inch of clearance and then the muffler when starting up incline has about an inch of room. Looks like a slight rework of the exhaust and I won't have an issue.
