Default Pics of True Duals w/ Sportline Springs

I need some help figuring out how to put true duals on my car with the sportline lowering springs i have on it right now. I really dont wanna lift it back up any b/c i love the stance of it. So if there is anyone out there that has pics of there lowered car w/ true duals that doesnt have TO much clearance issue, i would greatly appreciate it..

You looking to get the TSP duals? It would be very tough with sportlines. The link in my sig has pics to my system as it is now, as well as some pics of when it was still dumped. The car was lowered about 1" in those pics. If you take a couple of hours putting it on, you should be able to get it riding high and dry with a big enough hammer and enough curse words.

You could probably have a custom 2.5" system built that would ride right though. The exhaust shop would have to be very good, and you would probably need poly or solid motor mounts to keep it off of the floorboard.

That looks like a cool setup! I bet that sounds awesome! I'm not sure if I'd have the gonads to weld up the collectors though. It looks like you have a few leaky welds.

I wouldn't attempt to run duals with sportlines. I have 3in duals with the prokit and ground clearance is an issue. I can't even drive around with a full tank of gas in the car because of the weight in the back end.

So its not impossible but close to it to have true duals w/ sportlines..I was checkin out the TSP setup they offered but since my car is a DD, i dont think that would be too good
