Default need help on ride height+LT

im getting some pacesetters LT headers and I was wanting to know how low the rest of you guys go when lowering your car. I know their is some scrap that will happen but I dont want it to be rediculous. Its a 2002 TA with 18" wheels moser 12 bolt (rear sits up even higher)...what springs should I look at?

Ive got a prokit on and pacesetter longtubes. Ive got about 4.5 inches of clearance at the lowest point (drivers side of the y-pipe). Compared to the stock Y-pipe I sit higher up with the pacesetter y-pipe. lol I gained cleareance when I add LT's.

I get around easy I just avoid speedbumps but if I have to hit it I wait until its safe so can take it sideways. I'll walk the extra block to avoid a speedbump. Just makes the car that much better with LT's and lowered.

my 22cents

Lowered on prokit as well. I've been lowered for nearly two years and I don't have one scrape on my pacesetters. The middle of the Y is the lowest point on the car and it scrapes much before the headers.

Also, I must add that lowering your car isn't the only factor in scraping. Your driving style is most important. Watch out for tall speedbumps, high points in the road, sudden inclines, etc etc.
