CT5-V Axle/Nose Lift?

[00 Scrub]

Does anyone make an axle lift kit for the CT5V Blackwing? I'm curious how folks are keeping their carbon lips from being wrecked on driveways and such.

No better protection than what's between your ears. Pay attention every drive you make especially entering driveways. Here in Chicago our roads are built like shit so contractors can come back and charge the state every year for the work. Pot holes that could eat a watermelon are everywhere. In my near 40 years of driving here, I've had one incident. Every car I've owned prior to the BW have been lowered stances. Watch where you're going and you should be able to avoid bad spots 99.999% of the time.

I did a quick Google search and didn't come up with anything. I think you might need to convert the front to air suspension to get a full axle lift that makes a difference.

Fortunately these cars aren't as low as some supercars or Porsches that absolutely need axle lifts to get over the most benign of road hazards.

To add on to the previous post, enter sloped driveways, access ways at an angle, and be mindful of where the car is. Honestly, when in doubt, get out and look. I had a lowered C5 and that damn thing would scrape everywhere, mostly the front air dam, but it also high centered a few times, I've never had that issue with the Blackwing, which is lovely.

I swear Louisiana and Chicago have the same issues and politics. You have mayors in prison, we have governors in prison.

I know I can always be careful etc. I'm used to that with my 997 GT3, but was hoping to add some luxury and make my life a bit easier around town and with my steep driveway entrance.
There's a few aftermarket solutions that work well for the 997 so I was hoping there was something for the Alpha chassis already. I'm not keen on having a ~2500 lip be a wear item.

I had a Charger Hellcat, scraped the front air dam numerous times. Haven't done that yet with the BW and I'm driving the same exact places. It's higher than it looks I guess.

That poor patsy should sing like a bird today. Married into the family to get to that spot only to be thrown under the bus.

ETA: sorry to the OP for getting off track.
