TTS headers on Firehawk I was wondering if anyone out there has tts headers on a lowered f-body,Firehawk sits about an inch lower than stock and not sure if these headers hang to low. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
Thanks

Re: TTS headers on Firehawk I had LG springs (1.5" drop) on for a few months and put the stockers back on because I was grinding on two BIG speed bumps in the office parking lot. Got to be too much of an irritation. Smaller speed bumps were not a problem. My advice: Check out all the speed bumps you encounter during your regular driving pattern and see how much clearance you would require to clear them.
With stock springs, my lowest point (driver side cat) is 5.25" off the ground. With your springs, figure ~4" or so clearance with the TTS setup.

Re: TTS headers on Firehawk I joined EFA a few months ago,went to cecil dragway for the f-body shoot-out but had my 15 month old daughter with me and couldn't see what the car would do stock.Just ordered ST3500,sfc,drive shaft loop,tranny cooler and 160 stat and will most likely have f-body central install the tc and maybe change programming if I don't buy an ls1-edit myself.
Re: TTS headers on Firehawk I heard the tts have good clearance..the slp are know to hang pretty low...I think you will be fine..let you know in a few weeks..my tts are ordered.I put in the slp eibach springs so at same height as you.

Re: TTS headers on Firehawk What do you think of those springs,there nice under normal driving but as soon as you put a load on them the car tightens up and seems to squat down. Yeah, if you could let me know about those headers that would be great, thanks.

Re: TTS headers on Firehawk The slp eibach springs dropped it just right amount to suit me..car handles really good with all my suspension mods..No complaints there although the hotchkis springs I had on briefly do to dropping my car way more than the one inch advertised did have better ride and better handling than the slp..but scraped on everything so out they went..
