Default forced ind. question

i was look to do some more mods to my car before spring but all my idears are being shot down because i have the eibach sportline lowering kit its about 2in lower and now its seem like headers ypipe and crap like that ill have problems with and i dont really want to put it back to stock height unless i really have to so maybe for some quick hp i was thinking of a procharger or a turbo setup not sts though because of the ground clearance issues any any one had any problems with ground clearance and what do you recommend doing

One word... Punctuation.

If you are super low headers or the y pipe will be the lowest point on the car most of the time.

Ground clearance is an issue... You'll never have to worry about the turbo bottoming out. But as far as the piping, right up around where it goes under the k-member is a big problem... also in front of the axle under the control arm. My car WAS lowered 1.5eibach. I lifted it back up real quick afterwords. If you absolutely have to stay that low, you need a turbo kit that runs its piping over the k-member. Procharger is another option to think about. Good luck
