Im pretty low I got the sportlines w/ slp sfc's. I dont know how low exactly, but its low.
With my stock wheels I sit low, but w/ my corvette 17's front and 18's rear its a little better, but not much better.

Mine is lowered 1.5" and with True Duals there is not much clearance. I actually got pulled over for it the other day. He said I didn't have enough clearance. A while back I was lowered 2" and was low but I had stock exhaust. SO if you have True Duals I wouldn't recommend 2" unless you can tuck them way up close but then you might have to put up with banging the floorboard. Just My $.02
(Edit) So if you are stock exhaust 2 " is fine. If going with TD like it says you plan to purchase in your sig I would go back to 1.5". The exhaust will still be low but you can get by. I only scrub on some speed bumps.

If you go to the External Engine section there are some great pics of a car with True Dual that area extremely low. I can't recall if the car is lowered but I think it is. I love My Kook's LT with True Duals. I haven't heard a better combo. I can't wait till I get a Cam then they will sound even better.

I have slp sfc's and my car is lowered 2 inches (26" to fender lips.) There isn't much clearance, but I have had few problems. I'm just careful and avoid the areas I know will cause it to hit.
