Default How low is a Stock 2013 GS350 RWD Luxury?

I need to know how low is the "gs 350/rwd/Luxury with 18 inch stock wheels" to the ground. My driveway is very steep and I am afraid I would scratch underneath the car when I drive into my garage. I measured my fathers 2009 Toyota Camry XLE and it scraps the driveway every time even when I take it very slowly.

I measured the height of the Camry at its lowest point and its the from underneath the car frame is only 6 inches from the ground. My Lexus LS430 has no problems clearing my driveway because I have a ride height button in which i use every time I pull in.

Thanks Guys!!

The spec I've seen in a few places is 5.7 inches ground clearance for RWD models. What you really want to know is the approach angle (steepest ramp you can drive up from flat ground without scraping) but they only seem to list that for trucks and SUVs. I guess they assume not much off-roading happens in a GS.

Mine scraps the drive also and I try to back out at an angle every time. I hate that it does it too.

Any ideas on how to make the car 1 or 2 inches higher?
