Who's low and still has LT's? I wanna get some longtubes, but my car is pretty low. I know scrapping is a threat. But I'm curious if it's still doable. Lowest part on my car right now is the SLP diamond SFC's, they have 3 inch clearance from the ground.
Would the LT's hang lower than that? Would shorty's be a better option for me?

My car is pretty low and I have LT from TPiS. I smack the Y pipe once in awhile on the shitty roads up here.
A lot of it will depend on how you drive and what your suspension is like.

I was lowered and had LT's. The only time i would scrape would be pulling into a high angle drive way or on high speed bumps. I learned to drive around them tho. Approach at severe angles and you'll be fine.

Eibach Pro-Kit with PaceSetter LT's The only place I ever scrape is where the y-pipe connects to the Magnaflow Catback. That's when I pull into my driveway without paying attention.

Eibach Pro's with Pacesetter LTs. Scraped once over a speed bump, but it was pretty tall, and I thought I could clear it driving VERY slowly. 
Then again I don't drive mine much, and always look out for bad situations. Your results may very!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive got an 80' vette with an LT1 and LTs and they Never hit.
Oh yeah, Ive lowered my car 4 inches and I had to have the curb drain shaved off my driveway to clear my bumper. My chin spoiler is 1/2 high on level ground. Im so careful about it hitting the ground the LTs have never touched! Spoiler is about 2 inches tall and soft rubber so Ive got about 2.5 inches to the glass bumper.

If anything the part that's going to scrape is going to be the clamps honestly. You shouldn't have a big problem making it around if you use your head and look before you turn most places. If you live in Pittsburgh like me it's a warzone just driving around, the roads are so haggard you have to be on your toes.
