Default How bad is the clearance?

I have SLP Long Tubes right now on my Z-28 and was considering a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs. Will my clearance be that bad or should I be ok? I don't go over too many speed bumps or anything, but I don't want to shoot myself either.Thanks.

I think Onyx on LS1.com posted pics last year of an Eibach Pro Kit on an F-body with the SLP LT's. On the passenger side a 7-up can would just barely roll under and on the drivers side it would not roll under at all. You are looking at about 2 1/2 to 3 inches of ground clearance. Not too pretty.

FLPS are tucked up a little bit higher...I would NOT lower the car with the SLP headers....I have FLPS right now and the only things that get destroyed are the v flange clamps and the bottom of the Y... <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">
