Coilovers will probably not be the answer as they are usually used to lower the car and most from what I have read raise the car when at max to normal riding height.

Probably not the best solution but you may need to break up the section of concrete closest to the curb and have it repoured at a different angle. Alternatively(and probably cheaper) Could you have a metal fabricator make you some sort of steel piece to go over the entrance to change the angle ? Another possible solution is not to enter the driveway perpendicular to the street. If you get one wheel on the driveway and then the second coming in while turning, you may be able to avoid scraping unless your slope is really severe. This is a common issue with Corvettes. Not sure whether there are any air adjustable shocks or struts available for the S4, If so you could use them to raise the car a few inches to get into the driveway. Kinda like a low-rider in reverse.

well let me explain alil bit more. Its a condo driveway so i cant exactly do whatever i want to fix the problem. And the problem is that the curb entrance isnt the problem, the driveway goes into a deep slope and thats where my cars bottoms out. If i get teh car down there, then its going to bottom out when i get it out. I plan to talk to the condo board but i dont know what can be done about this. Basically the building is located above the garage causing this slope in the driveway. Can i raise the car in anyway???
