So how low should i bring it?
I just installed longtubes this weekend and replaced the oil filter with the larger sized K&N. It sucked seeing that I lost more ground clearance due to the oil filter than the headers... so yeah, after seeing this I should probably change that back to the small one

You are wanting to go to the prokit? It looks like you already have it, you're not very low at all, any other kit you put on it pretty much will lower you more. Learn to drive a lowered car, I guarantee you I have less clearance than you. I have a tranny pan that is 2 inches deeper than the stock, and a Y pipe with less than a fist worth of clearance, I've driven it like this for a year on crappy oklahoma roads and my steep driveway with no ill affects.

If you really think it is too low, then change it. I mean you can get used to driving a lowered car, but if it makes you more comfortable to raise it a bit I would suggest Hotchkis springs. That's what I went with, and it lowered my car right at 1 inch. I love it. Not too low, but looks so much better than stock.
