most likely yes....
Ive heard that the pacesetters work well when it comes to ground clearance.....whatever you do do not buy SLP!!! youll be trolling for pavement that way..
I have a lowered f bod...plan on going the pacesetter route for clearance...but i mean you will still scrap them once in a while...its just life...just be careful and get a good exhaust fabbed up...
good luck by the way how do you like your eibachs...i have the bilsteins, but i want the front a lil lower....

Pacesetters have excellent ground clearance. The lowest point will probably be the y pipe on the drivers side. I have a catted y, SLP springs, and Koni shocks on the lower perch and they only scrape on monster speed bumps.

My Hawk is lowered 1/2 an inch from the factory and my Pacesetters tuck nicley. Adding a little over an inch to equal your 1.8 inch drop, I see no reason why they wouldn't clear. I had flanges welded on the header collectors and that added at least another 1/2 inch, or took away I guess I should say. They still tuck nicely and they are definitely not the lowest point on my car. Go for it, just be careful over speed bumps.

FWIW, my car isn't lowered, but to see my Pacesetters you pretty much have to kneel down and look up under the car. Clearance is great.
