ive got this setup. not sure of the type of headers on my car since i bought it used but they are pretty bashed up. my y-pipe scrapes and the bottom of my headers are starting to look more flat on the bottom tubes than round. y-pipe is also flat in some areas.

you will bash the hell out of your exhaust with sportlines. prepare to have exhaust leaks and bent headers.

I have the PROKIT/BILSTEIN setup with Edelbrock LT'S which have great clearance....Sportlines are silly unless u just show the car..if u have LT'S. [I have seen setups like u ask about---NO GOOD]

What about Goldline springs? Don't they have a similar drop to Sportlines?

goldlines have a big drop, havent seen sportlines in person. i have duals and have been lucky to not rip em of the headers on some of the stupid crap i was forced to hit last week. damned construction in my town .
for all those who dont know the spring rates they are 400 frt and 200 rear.
on a side note im looking into stranos springs w/revalves or just getting revalves for the current setup.

EDIT: just bit and ordered springs, shocks, and sways from sam!

I don't know for a fact, but I've heard that Pacesetter LT,s are fairly friendly for lowered f-body's.
