its probably going to cost you a little clearance, mines about an inch lower than stock and i have only about 4"-5". if your lowered to much your gunna drag coke cans down the street the SLP stuff is low anyways so it my not be to much of a differance, not sure?

My duals hang low. I wouldn't recommend them on lowered cars although some people do.

I tried mine with 1.5 drop and ended up taking them off, I just did not want to scrape everything and I could not even get into my garage with them. The bullets is where I had lost most of my clearance and I thought I had them up really tight.

My car is lowered and I think my duals tuck up pretty well. I banged in my drive shaft tunnel a bit and ground down an edge of my tranny cross brace. I have not scraped yet, but understand that I don't carry around "large" passengers or loads. I also bought an aftermarket toque arm. That one mod gave me much needed room to tuck it up even more. I am going to install some tubular sub frames, so that if I do scrape, the subs will scrape and hopefully not the duals.

I think the pics are with a pro kit.

I've got the same springs with true duals. You'll be fine if you be careful. It's all in how well you get the duals tucked. There's a million and a half ways to mount TSP duals, it takes a while to get it right.

if that's the case you need to have your exhaust fixed because there is no way that is not lowered at least and inch or two...i have seen tsp duals with a full soda can of clearance...

I might just be underestimating my clearance. It feels like that's all the clearance I have sometimes lol.

Here are some pics of mine. My car isn't lowered but figured it might help. I can still tuck in the bullets a little better but nothing really drastic.

I have scraped them on speedbumps before
