Default long tube headers??

Will a set of long tube headers go well with a lowered camaro. I have eibach springs and just wondering if anyone out there has them on and if so do you scrape everywhere??

I've got FLP LT's on my car which also has the Eibach Pro-kit, and I've got satisfactory ground clearance. I've scraped once when I was high centered in a driveway, but it was pretty minor. I don't know for a fact, but I have heard that the Hookers hang a little lower, and I have no information on the others like Jet-Hot. Maybe someone else will chime in.

I've heard that Hookers have very bad ground clearance, but I have no experience with them since I'm currently running midlengths.

My car is lowered with the pro-kit. I had FLP's on the car and only scraped the clamps holding the catsa in place. I now have Jet Hots on the car and haven't scraped on anything yet, but I also have only driven the car around a bit. They seem to hang about the same as the FLP's did. Hookers have terrible clearance, if you go with them stay stock ride height.

From reading on other boards and what not, it seems that FLP's have the best ground clearance on lowered cars.

Ground clearance might be an issue with Hooker LTs. I live in an area with pretty bad roads, though. Speed bumps suck regardless of where you are.
