Default Pacesetter ground clearance

I was wondering how much ground clearance anybody running the Pacesetters had. Im staying at stock height and I was wondering if Im going to get caught up in driveways or on speed bumps

There's absolutely no issues with Pacesetters and ground clearance. My K&N oil filter hung lower than the Pacesetters did.

Clamp positioning is KEY though. Make sure that the nuts/bolts are pointing to the side instead of downward.

Although its just asthetical I dumped the U clamps and got some band clamps from NAPA, looks WAY better

You will be fine on a stock ride.

If you go with the TSP catted Y, make sure you adjust those fittings to get the whole pipe assembly as high as possible. The Y hangs a little low and I've already bumped it on some steep angles.

You should have no problems with stock springs. When I had my intrax springs it was a whole different story

This is good to hear, I have debated back and forth between Mac and Pacesetter. Definitely Pacesetters for me now.

I'm going to be ordering the TSP catted Y.. I saw a thread on here a while back with a stock height car and a pop can in the photograph for scale. Looked pretty good to me! It's probably all in the adjustment just as someone else mentioned!
