TSP True Duals w/ eibach sportlines pics Here ya go, tell me what ya think. I know it is going to scrape BAD! On a side note I'm turning the bullets 45 degrees and raising them as much as possible. I want them out the back under the axle SOON! And if anyone wants to know, I have Pacesetter Long tubes w/ a BMR torque Arm. I also am reworking my Lakewood DSL to work w/ this setup.
What do you think :
1: Leave them and see what happens
2: go back to stock springs

Do yo go over speed bumps or bumpy roads? That setup wpuld not work for me, the speed bumps in my apt complex are like Mount Everest, but if it works for you then keep them. I say leave it for now and see what happens, drive carefully for the first few days and see if you scrape anywhere. If not, then keep it. If you do, then swap the springs.

which bmr tq arm do you have? I got the duals and have about 3.5" of clearance where the tips dump and a little more all around. I haven't scraped yet and hope not to.

Thanks Hardtop00ss
Yea, hangs rather low and I knew it would.
taufern, I am running the adjustable torque arm that mounts in factory location.
And no, I fear no speed bumps
Well, maybe, I haven't even had a chance to drive it yet.

I had that same setup on mine and loved the sound but even driving it around town I would scrape with the littlest dip in the road, I lasted about two weeks! It was hard to get rid of tds but the drivability was worth it. The bad thing is I only drive mine 7k a year and I could not get in and out of my garage without dragging the bullets. My clearence problems were not with the x it was with the bullets. Good luck!

that is the exact setup I will be running in about a month or two! I've got pacesetter LTs and sportlines right now and will be getting TSP TD's for my b-day from the g/f. NIIICE CAR and SETUP BTW!!! 
When I had my exhaust unhooked i had the same ground clearance you have now and going over speed bumps I would scrape. After that I never drove over another speed bump even if it meant walking an extra mile. Driveways and inclines I was extra careful.
I was also thinking of the BMR Trak Pak but wasn't sure about clearance issues with it and the duals. Maybe i'll just do the adj TQA instaed.

I can't tell, but if you haven't already, flip the clamps sideways. That will make the mufflers the lowest part instead of the clamps. A few decent scrapes, and you'll ruin the clamps in no time.

Keep them see what happens. I have TD's and lowered 1.5" and I don't scrape much. I ran mine out the back. I have 3" off the headers and a 3" X and mufflers then I have 3" cutouts then 2.5" ran out the back. I like the sound of dumping under the car but I run it out the back most of the time.
Good luck though

LSONE : I had a Lakewood DSL, but I knew this wouldn't work w/ the way my car is setup, because you lose lots of clearance w/ the TSP true duals and a chassis mounted DSL, but I am going to try and modify the way it mounts and hopefully get away w/ keeping the DSL I have.
If anyone cares, I hopefully will be getting some footage of the car and the exhaust Monday and will be posting as soon as possible. But I guess u heard one car w/ this setup, you heard them all. O WELL
