Truck pan Is anyone running the truck transmission pan on a lowered 4th gen car? How is the ground clearance? Please let me know what springs you are on or how low you are. I'm on bmr springs, so I believe 1.25" drop

I have a 2002 camaro with a truck pan.
stock ride height in the front
lowered 1" in the rear
I have PLENTY of ground clearance with the truck pan. you probably only lose 1" of clearance with the truck pan, and there are other things that hang equally low

The trans plan is much closer to the front than rear though so I feel like your front stock height is giving you that plenty of ground clearance.

I have 3" dual exhaust with headers.
The drivers side as everyone knows is very tight. Mine is about 1/16" from touching the floor.
And it hangs lower than the trans pan.
So...the deep pan isn't the lowest spot. And even if I remove the front springs and let it ride bump stops...it will hit the exhaust before the trans pan.
Good enough?

I know the truck pans will work on the cars, my concern was for lowered cars. But thanks for the input and the offer. Unfortunately I already bought one though which should be here hopefully today.
