Good looking SVT, nice find.
Where in Wixom are you located? I'm in nearby West Bloomfield/Commerce.

If you're not into lowering it, that's cool.
BUT.
You can still get into your driveway lowered, you just have to back in. If you go in forwards, your front bumper'll scrape on the way out. We have all those big concave curbs around here, I hate them, but backing in poses no trouble at all.

If you'e worried about scraping, it's not as big a problem as you might think.
They are cheap
I sit about 4" off the ground and with the ramps can clear an 8" curb, just take it at an angle and go nice and slow. Or get some ramps and take it straight on. As for areas in your city you may scrape on, one you find them and avoid them once, they tend to never be a problem again.
Just saying if you'd like to lower the car, do it. It's not a big hassle like you're thinking

Eibach + Mirko = ~3"-4" ground clearance. There hasn't been a driveway I couldn't make it up yet.
Just pull up to the incline like you're parallel parked on it. Then turn your wheel in the direction of the curb so the treads are facing the curb. Slowly creep forward and let that front tire climb up, pulling you up the curb.
Same goes for reverse. You just have to crank the wheel before you get to the end of the driveway, so you are leaving the driveway at the same angle as you approached it.
