Lowered with the Eibach Sportlines and have the pacesetter LT's. Pretty low, but so far no problems. Headers tuck up nice, but the Y-pipe and the air dam are the lowest parts, they measure up 3 inches from the ground on my car.

i've got Jet Hot's and a pro kit. The air dam and Dr. Side cat in my Y pipe are the lowest parts of my car. I have only scraped my headers once ..... i dunno why i even tried to go over that speedbump

**edit - i've got a custom Y pipe .... they didn have the catted Y when i ordered my Jet hots.

I have the Pacesetters and they never scrape. Just get a y pipe made to tuck up.

The Jet Hot header on the drivers side has actually been press molded so that it will tuck up closer to the floor board. Very nice fit.
