Raise the car back up with a different set of springs and buy the TSP headers you want. Just my suggestion.

my coated pacesetters with matching ORY fit perfect and have great ground clearance with my 1.8" drop.

If you go 1 3/4, you can get the LPP w/y for $600+ or the BBK w/y for $500+. TSP 1 7/8 are $500 for just headers, but on sale right now for $479.99.

I bought the BBK LTs and IMO they are the best fitting, easiest to install, and sound great. Plus, $500 for LTs and y-pipe fit the budget really well.

BBK is what I am going to go with when the time comes. Fits my needs, is $500 ceramic coated w/y-pipe, and (IMO) the y has a much better merge than the LPP set.

Do it right and buy stainless so they last. The coated headers will not last and you'll be dissappointed in the long run.

what ever you decide make sure you go stainless, if not they will look like garbage over time coated or not.

I went with the LPP's and could not be happier. I got mine for 525 shipped LT's and Y really hard to beat. fitment is great, quality is topnotch.
