For those who have a problem with scrapping, RUF has interduced a height adjustable coilovers. A touch of a button raises the car and another touch lowers it. I have not seen it yet, but Mr. Ruf was talking about it last time he was here. Call Weissach to see if it's available.

I think some interior parts are creaking because I torque the frame so much by crawling down at extreme angles.

Maybe an extra tall wheel/tire combo upfront will help :/
To help with this, you should try driving onto driveway's sideways. That way, you get one wheel up on the driveway first and then bring the rest of the car up. That way, you don't plow the front lip right into the ground.

If you track your car or have any issues with scraping the front lip, DO NOT PAINT them, more headaches than its worth.
