Default Pics of lowest cars with long tubes

I wanna lower the car as much as I can. Permanently, not like airbags or adjustable ride height. I plan on buying some bbk long tubes soon, and I'm curious Anyone has a pic of they're car lowered 1.5 inches or more (preferrably trans ams) with headers, post up! If you have clearance shots, even better!

I have BBK's right now the only issue is really the Ypipe but it does tuck up well. With sportlines you will without a doubt scrape it alot. Ive had sportlines on a stock headers and ypipe camaro and i would scrape it alot. Have to agree the ride will be pretty choppy but for me i was use to it. I would'nt lower it anymore more then 1-1.25 tops.

Go with stranos or bmrs, all your slammed car is going to do is **** you off.sportlines are a show only thing imo. They ride like complete crap

These pictures don't really capture an idea of how low my car is, I believe I'm a little under 2" lowered in the front and about 1.5" in the rear.

Irrelevant since I have mid length headers but Im lowered 2.5-ish(sig pic) and can go over 4" speed bumps all day. I'll get the soda-can-next-to-my-exhaust pic if the weather improves

There's picd of my car in my profile with prostars , in those pics my car was lowered on intrax and I had passetter long tubes
My car was very low with that setup (small front tire 2+ drop) and I daily drove the car over 100miles a day
I would scrap on speed bumps but other then that it was fine ,you just have to know how to drive a low car , don't mob around like you in a truck

Eiback Prokit, Strano revalved Bilstein shocks


Lowest part is the headers and even then I have a good 3+ inches of clearance. They are American Racing headers 1 7/8". I built my own exhaust so that's why it tucks up so well.
