Running intrax springs here for about a year. No major issues with drivability just have to choose speed bumps wisely. Other than that it looks and drives great. You will learn to take steep inclines at as much as an angle as you can to avoid any scraping at all.

I've got DMS on mine with Koni SA. I never scrape but, I have noticed some contact points in my front fender wells where the wheels have rubbed at speed… usually from a dip in the road at highway speed ( a lot of interstate construction around me). I like the way mine sits. My drop was only about 1.25 - 1.5 inches. So, I'd say 2 in. will be a problem, especially on 16s. I'm actually thinking of switching to coilovers so I can dial in what I want.

You can lower it 2"s just be careful. The only major hit i got was my SFCs on some
higher speed bumps.

If your vette sits as low as it looks in your sig, you should be the last person to say a 2" drop on an F-body is too low.

StatixNWH,

2" Drop with Sportlines here, my advise is this... if your car is a DD and you do not want to always be looking and thinking about where you can and cannot go with your car - DO NOT go 2".

If your car is a toy and is not daily driven (like mine) and you want the low, mean look but are willing to not be able to just whip it into any lot or street - 2" will work fine.

Just make sure you go with better shocks when lowering (esp. since you are going 2") because the shocks are what makes a 2" drop drivable or not. IMO!
