I would think so but it is only leave you with around 1-2 inches of clearance. What kind of long tubes are you going to get?

Lot of it depends on the Y, from the collector to the ground, I could see doing an inch drop. If you got the Y to tuck up really good, I say its doable. Buddies 30th was dropped with Hookers LT, would never want to daily drive it, car looked awesome though. I could never drop mine, theres only 3 or so inches of clearance for the driver side cat.

i want the Pro-Kit from Eibach. but if it's going to scrape i will probly just leave it alone. i'll do the LT's first and see if it will clear first. then i'll think about the Pro-Kit.

Do some lt's hang lower than others? or is it the y that is the lowest point? like will kooks lt's and y with the pro-kit be worse than any other lt's and y?

go with the AS&M mids they have 1/34 primaries but the collector isn't 3 inches. however the y pipe collector is 3 inches so you can run a 3inch cat back. I have them and really enjoy them plenty of ground clearance.

I've got Hooker LT's and BMR lowering springs 1" drop for three years now without any problems, you definitely have to go slow over these giant speed bumps that every retail parking lot has.

I was looking at the BMR springs, do they drop only the 1" they are advertised to do? I will have longtubes here shortly, so I am curious now.

What are you running for wheels and tires SSsweet97? Have a picture of the car with the springs installed?

the BMR's take away the fender gap and are great as ride quality goes still
