I'm not lowered down to Pro-kit level, but I'm within a half inch of that much lowering on my ride. You can see my Kooks+duals in my FQuick link (sig). No problems here...

They hit on non-lowered vehicles. Doesnt mean that they are crap though.

If you are worried about clearance get a 2.5" setup made.

I've got a pro-kit on my car along with 2.5" duals. The lowest part of the exhaust is right under the mufflers (~3" ground clearance).

i wouldn't go with the eibach's, . . they are too, (i don't wanna say it but) ricey low, . . DMS, Hotchkis, or Strano would look better, . .

SLP headers hang really low, . and i heard the best tucked LT's are the XS Ebay ones . .

Good luck bro

nah the eibachs arnt ricey, ricey is when the springs are cut and then the car bounceys when you sneeze on it. but i agree on getting the Strano one's those are the ones i'll be getting once i can make enough room in my hole of debt to buy them. the ebay headers have that little problem with the driver side being TOO well tucked up where you have to get an S pipe made to make it work. but i'd live with that knowing i have stainless steal headers that will turn that pretty purple brown color in a few months BTW that dude hasnt answered none of my emails (wich i knew he wouldnt) and he dosnt sell any more on ebay, not ls1's anyways.
