Default Qtp

You should be really happy, I have kooks and they are supposed to have about the same fit as QTP and I have about the same ground clearance as I did stock. I have the Eibach pro kit and I have no problems with scrapping.

The headers won't be your clearance issue...your y-pipe might be an issue though. That will be the lowest hanging part.
