Lowered 2 1/2" w/ LT's and ORY....
 
Will I even be able to get out of the garage or will I have NO clearance at all. I'll be going w/ Pacesetter LT's and ORY. Anyone w/ some suggestions or possibly in the same situation? Here is some pictures of the car as it sits now(love the stance, hope I can keep it):

Do you have sportlines? Mine sits the same way. I am buying some Stock 1LE springs ASAP. My Air Dam is only like 3.5 inches off the ground with these damn springs. It looks good but I scrape everything as it is. I don't think a prokit would be to bad.

Not sure what springs I have on currently...bought the cars used w/ them on it. I would love to swap out springs, but I'd have to pay to have it done and between labor and springs I'm lookin' at an extra $500.

You wont be able to tuck Lt's and ORY with those springs. Get some bmr springs or eibach prokits and you will be ok

angrychicken Feb 10, 2007 08:03 AM

i got the pro kit. I got the hooker LT and the y pipe. The only thing that pisses me off is speed bumps.

I prefer the Hotchins only a 1" to 1/12" drop.

SCRAPE~! You've got to be kidding me. How do you not scrape now?

LG G2 springs on my car with Kooks LTs and a Y-pipe fabbed up by Louis and I don't scrape.

Are LG springs a 2.5 inch drop? I've got pro-rate springs as well and I dont scrape but they dont drop me 2.5 inches either

Whats that in your picture? looks like a scrape .. lol

I got sportlines and LT's and the only thing that scrapes occasionally is the bolts from the clamps on the y-pipe ( my fault cause i left them facing down)...but it just take some extra patience driving and it will be fine.

purdueranger Feb 10, 2007 02:47 PM

it looks like a scrape but when I just checked now, that isn't there. It is a little dent from the previous owner of the headers.

I have the pro kit with TTS LT and Cats and I scrap on speed bumps so my car just doesn't see speed bumps anymore

angrychicken Feb 10, 2007 07:29 PM

this gives you an idea... Its not really that bad. But the ground where I park my car is a lil uneven.

its pretty crazy huh?

HeapaShifter Feb 10, 2007 09:21 PM

I have sportlines and my car is about as low as in your picture. I have Kooks headers and y-pipe and I'm daily driving it just fine. You just have to be careful and take speedbumps and dips in the road slow and angled.

angrychicken Feb 10, 2007 09:50 PM

btw nice car torch.
