With an exhaust? IMHO is 1" . . .

Longtubes are the least of your clearance worries unless you're running SLP's. The collectors are the highest point in my entire exhaust system. For the most part, if you're running y-pipe & catback you can get away with more of a drop than with duals. I'm dropped ~1.75" with duals and I've lightly scraped my h-pipe crossover a couple times.

i got longtubes, 3inch catted y and 3 inch catback, its pretty low but not as bad as the slp's

i think that 1.75 drop on your NBM Z looks perfect

I have the prokit and SLP LT's, a bad combo anyone should tell you. But I love it. But my car is not speed bump friendly. So you need to think out the pros and cons. Prokit = awesome aggressive look.

is that the eibach prokit?

Yep, I have the eibach prokit. Here's a shot that gives a little better idea of what kind of drop it gave me.

I use the G2 Super Springs with Hooker lths, and ORY. Not many clearance issues for me. I cannot do 40 mph over a speed bump, but I can make it.

1.5" here with LTs and 3" ORY. Only problems are with the cut-out:

Kooks LT's, catted Y, dropped 1.75....Y will rub sometimes, but its worth it for the looks.

Hi there, the specs for the prokit is 1.2inch and the sportlines is 1.75inch about. My car has the sportlines and I'm careful of speed bumps. Here some pictures of my car with Jethots and catted y-pipe. My back is raised with an 1inch spacer with the sportlines installed. Later

I had Goldlines with SLP's, and that was a bad mix. Any drop with SLP's is bad I would guess though.

that white ss looks wicked good......what are those 18's??my buddy has those on his 97 z. i like the look of the sportline but i am curious to see how low it will be without that 1 inch spacer...regardless i am bidding on a set right now to find out the hardway

ChoiceCam00... How in the h3ll did you get your rebels to sit in so far in the front?!? Mine stick out a bit more than yours. I've got the 18's.

Anyway, SLP LT's are TeH SUCK w/ drop springs!! The Y-pipe is most of the problem, it needs to be tucked up a LOT on the pass side. The collectors sit a bit low too.. I've got 18" AR Rebels w/ Eibach ProKit. 1" drop is plenty on our cars....IMHO...

is this the part # for the pro kit? 3870.140

Hi there bayer-z28, ah, Air Force huh. I just retired from the Air Force Reserves at March ARB, Ca. I didn't do anything, some cars will be different from one another. I guess that's from when they assembled our cars in Canada. I have no rubbing issues whatsoever. Even as low as I am, about 2.5-3inch drop from the Sportlines. Later, Kevin.
