Only place to order them is www.stranoparts.com and they lower the car 1.25" on most cars. Earlyer F bodies already sat lower from the factory and don't lower as much as the later years. My car sits dead level with Strano's out back and stockers in the front.

Mine never rubs...even loading it on and off the trailer (which is actually the place I was most worried about.) Thats the main reason I went with a 1.25 drop instead of a 1.5. Here are pics of the ground clearence I have with my LTs and off-road Y:

Wow that looks good

They are LPPs LTs and Y-Pipe. The headers fit great but the y-pipe was ******* impossible to put on at home. I had to carry it to a buddies muffler shop and let him install it (the pipes had to be bent and tweeked.) I am very pleased with every aspect of them except that (its the ONLY thing I have ever done to the car that I couldnt/didnt do myself.)

I have pacesetter LTs and 3" TDs over axle. My clearance is fine...only time i scrape is ridiculously steep driveways with a crest (assuming i don't take it at an angle), or i do something else stupid. When you have a lowered car, no matter how low, you need t be careful and aware of driveways etc..

Excellent, LPP's are what I was looking at for mine. Glad to know they tuck up so nicely.

i have noticed that sams springs lowers the rear more than the front from those pictures, or is it the angles of the pics.

I just installed Pacesetter Long Tubes with a TSP Catted y and climbed under the car with a tape measure. I have almost exactly 3" of ground clearence from the lowest point of the exhaust. Not bad for a lowered car. I get out of my steep driveway fine and get over small speed bumps without hassle. If it was a giant speed bump I'd probably try to find a different way into a parking lot.
