I am thinking of lowering my caddy with H&Rs and MM spacers but also plan to do Kooks headers. My question is how is the ground clearance? If you have pictures please post them.

Thanks
Jay

considering those springs (or just about any for the V) lower it less than an inch, i'd say you won't be making much of a difference in regards to ground clearance.

No pictures but I am lowered with Eibach and have 245/40 18 front and 275/35 18 rear. I scrape very often on speed bumps or slight inclines on parking garages.

The last time I was under my V I saw that both headers had nice scrapes on them and the passenger side has a flat spot where I must have hit hard.

I now take any bump or incline very slowly and at an angle if possible.

broke again

have coil overs and pace setters. pretty low and no problems (but i dont tempt fate either).

Lowered 1.6" front 2" rear with B&B headers. There is 3 1/2" clearance between the headers and the ground. Have to cvoid big speed bumps and go very slow over smaller ones.

I did it myself, used H&Rs and mightymouse spacers in the rears. Did the drivers side anti wheel hop axle at the same time as well while everything was out of the way.

Yes... search around a little bit for some more info, but basically it keeps the rear load leveling shocks from pumping the car back to stock height

worn out shocks? different sized tires?



OP id probably be down to help if I have time. I had a lift and air tools which made it much much easier. Shoot me a Pm when you were thinking and ill see if i can help.
