Default lowered with LT???

I know alot of you guys are running LT's while lowered but before i pull the trigger and do it myself, im worried about scraping on everything...im looking at a set of american racing headers and i already have a set of BMR lowering springs..can anyone post pics of how low the y-pipe sits??? thanks

How much of a drop are your springs?

My Intrax 2" springs with my ARH. I scraped just a bit last weekend at a driveway on a hill.

i have bmr lowering springs and lt's on my car and dont really have to worry about my ypipe scraping. its usually my slp muffler. i think i have about 4 inches of clearance at the y and about 3 or so at the muffler. just watch the speed bumps and your good. i havent scraped anywhere else other than speed bumps and there are some horrible roads here in victoria.

I have a Firehawk with SLP LTs, and clearance is about 2.5 inches. And yes, it scrapes.

yea but SLP LTs are the lowest hangin LT of all the ls1 headers! My QTPs tuck up way higher than my SLPs ever even dreamed of.
