Speed bumps, steep driveways and deep potholes wont be your friend, but otherwise should be fine.

I've got a Prokit w/ Grott 1 3/4 with no problems

i wouldnt worry as much about that as opposed to the underside of the car!...anything that sticks up on the ground like speed bumps or small curb sized bumps and such...will catch that pipe...2" is too much if you ask me

Nahh, you'll be fine. Pacesetter's have good clearance. Just stay away from SLP longtubes.

arent SLP LT's what 1 3/4" loss in ground clearance...so the 2" drop will make up for that with ease...it will not be very pleasing..

but hey pacesetters do tuck nicer then many...so you might do fine

I have pacesetters, tsp ory, and sportlines and have had no problem driving daily. I am sure that you are careful now of speedbumps etc., it is not that much different. I would recomend getting a pro kit instead of sportlines because the ride is sooo much better and the rate is stiffer. If I would do it again I would have got the pro kit because ther is not that much difference in height.

I have the Pro kit on my car and just ordered the Pacesetter's & a TSP ORY. Even though I don't drive the car everyday I was a little worried about clearance. It makes me feel alot better knowing someone out there has this setup w/ no problems on a daily driver.
