Question Ground clearance with ARH longtubes and Strano springs/Koni SA's?

I'm thinking of swapping out my current stainless longtubes, which fit horribly, for some ARH longtubes and Y-pipe. Ground clearance has me a bit worried though. I have Strano springs and Koni SA's on all 4 corners. Does anyone have the same set-up so I can have an idea of what ground clearance will be like? I don't daily drive my car, so that won't be an issue. I also have my front shocks on the top perch and the rears do have the black donut shaped bushing installed. Any help is appreciated!

ARHs tuck up well, I've seen them tuck up well on Intrax springs

I'm running ARH 1 7/8" headers and catted Y with Strano's and Bilsteins. The drivers side cat is the lowest part of the system, but it all tucks up pretty well. Car is up in the air at the moment (and will be for at least another month), but if nobody else chimes in with pics I'll take some then if you remind me.

10-4 bakerman, appreciate the help. Hopefully someone will chime in with a pic of a similar set-up.

I have stranos/bilsteins on mine and ground clearance is good. My headers are TSP 17/8 which hang alittle lower than ARHs. Then again the Strano/Koni setup on my other car has the stock exhaust and it scrapes alot.

I have stranos/konis on my car with Kooks LTs, which I believe tuck about the same as ARH. The lowest part is driver's cat, but never have scraped it. I more have to worry about front bumper and exhaust tips
