lowered and lt's ..help
lowered and lt's ..help ok so i am thinking about getting lt's but i am debating which ones to get since my car is lowered with bmr springs i dont want to be scrapping everywhere. if anybody is lowered and has longtubes please post pics of the clearance.. also what lt's do you guys reccomended along with a catted y pipe
www.fquick.com/fccs I'm lowered on bmr springs, have pacesetter long tubes w/ ORY. Yea it's low but it's nothing you can't deal with really
american racing headers with catted y. i am lowered about the same as with your bmr (their springs are basically copies of stranos in terms of height and spring rate).
these pictures are screenshots from a crap quality video i made of the car idling. as you can see, there's not much room there. they tuck in pretty good, but the cats are what i worry about. i avoid a lot of driveways and i crawl over speedbumps at certain angles.
if you don't mind putting thought into how you drive over areas that aren't flat, it is no big deal.

you will be fine ,90 percent of guys on here are lowered with longtubes, the only guys i hear of that scrape alot are usally running eibach sportlines,now if your gonna drive like mr.force all the time its not gonna matter but always go slow over big hills,steep driveways etc and you will be more than fine,

Here's mine with Kooks lts & catted Y before & after Stranos. I never hit the mild speed bumps in our neighborhood, but they are mild and angled. Tall sharp speed bumps you have to creep over.

My car hadSLP long tube headers, high flow cats and 3" exhaust all the way back, and had eibach springs/bilstien shocks. It was super low, and looked awesome. I had about 2.25 inch clearance at my collectors and cats. After getting caught on every speed bump, bottoming out on every dip, and wearing a hole in my left cat, I swapped with a friend's WS6 stock suspension for my lowering kit. I enjoy the car way more now, even though I am constantly reminded by my friends that it looked better lowered. I am much happier though.
Mine is lowered with a pro-kit and pacesetter lt's. The lowest thing under my car is the crossmember for the tq arm. When I had the duals, they were pretty low and hit lots of stuff, now I have a single 4" exhaust and the clearance is way better.
