Default Please help

I bought a 2002 Z06 on Friday. It is so low that I scrape a metal bracket going in and out of my driveway. Not the rubber piece mind you, but the bracket. My neighbor's drive is about three feet from mine and I can get in if I angle sharply using their driveway. I have backup out that way and I'm scraping just a little. I figure if I can get in I should be able to get out with a little practice.

I drove it to work this morning and ran in to the same problem. I tried both entrances with no success. I noticed that the front end is lower than the back but I'm guessing that this is the way it's supposed to be to keep air from getting underneath and sending you airborn. I only wanted to drive it to work once or twice a week but I can't bear to hear that sound and the bracket is already a bit roughed up.

Has anybody else run in to this problem? Is it possible to raise the front by about an inch? Perhaps tires that are not such a low profile? Are the Michelin Pilots any taller?

Thanks in advance.
