How low will True Duals hang? Right now i have a really freakin' low car. I have i think the Eibach Sportline springs on it right now (dunno. bought it used and came with them). I am going to put stock springs back on it and i'd like to know how low they will hang. I'm thinkin' about getting the TSP True Duals. Unless y'all have any other recommendations? Please tell me if you do. Here's a pic of how much my clearance blows as of now.

I have a 99 with the same lowering springs and tsp duals. My pipes don't hang as low as the pipe in your picture.
Here is what I did:
Bought an aftermarket torque arm- this gave me more room in the driveshaft tunnel to raise the tsp duals higher.
I banged in a few area of the driveshaft tunnel with a rubber hammer.
I raised the duals with a jack and made sure they were adjusted right before tightening the pipe clamps.
I did not use the clamps that came with the kit. I ordered better clamps from summit racing and sealed the pipes with sensor safe high temp. rtv sealant.
I played around with the way the bullet mufflers were positioned before bolting them up.
It took some time to install the duals, but they now sit higher than my borla.

I have true duals on my Camaro that I had made that goes over the axle and exit out the rear from beneath the bumper in the stock location. The pipes are the same place the stock pipes were. If you design it right the ground clearance should be the same as it was with the stock exhaust system. As I said, design it right and you will have no clearance problems.

This is on a stock height car with Sweet Thunder 18" mufflers.
Rear Clearance
Side Clearance
Front Clearance
Torque Arm Clearance with recently-installed Jegster Torque Arm
Just take your time and you can get tons of clearance. Probably what helped the most was the ST's. Hope the pics help.
