Default Duals w/ Pro-kit??

Has anyone tried this setup?? I already have the duals on my car and have had the springs for almost a year, I'm just afraid to put them on because of how low they will actually be! If anyone has pictures, or even some advice, it would have alot of help.

Thanks,
Ryan

I do not have duals but i know someone who does.. and they hang pretty low as you can see under your own car.. I wouldn't put the eibachs on unless you get the duals raised and tucked up as close as you can. And avoid speed bumps like the plague.

Lots of people do it, do some searching.....2.5" duals & pro-kit here, soon changing to 3". Super easy to do, especially if you're using bullet style (not traditional case) mufflers.

its personal preference... how are the roads out there? do you have many speed bumps to go over? steep inclines? All of these are factors like stated above. I personally think its all about the driver and driving preference on whether or not you can have them fit and not get f'd up. Do you drive like you stole it or are you an old man out for a sunday cruise?
