worth it or not??? i bought some eibach prokits and installed them on my ws6. it drop'd my car way further than they said it would. i cant even fit a soda can under my lowest pipe. you guys think its worth it to still install headers (mid length)? it is my daily driver and i do scrape on speed bumps. opinions?
I'd pass man. Depending where you go speed bumps can be killer. If I forget that I'm driving the Hawk and enter the complex the wrong way, my LM1 and Tranny will scrape. I can feel it in the shifter and it's sickening!
I'd say don't do it. I have stranos that don't lower the car that much and have long tubes and I still scrape going at an angle sometimes. And my brother has eibachs and I can't even imagine what he is gonna do when he gets long tubes because he already scrapes everywhere.
My suggestion would be to skip the mid length headers if you plan on keeping your springs and put that money toward a cam instead. There are a lot of nice cams that work with stock headers like the thunder racing V3 which gives 30-40rwhp. What's a complete cam kit, like $650? My budget coated pacesetters were almost $800 for everything and I probably picked up maybe 20rwhp. As for improving your exhaust, stock manifolds with gutted cats and a cut out flow pretty decent in my opinion.

I hardly scrape anything if I hit it at an angle.... Don't be intimidated.... Besides I have **** that hangs lower than my LT's and the most chance of a scrape is dead center of the car and LT's are well ahead of that..........
You will learn to adjust your driving......
Also consider the above advice (other than BK) is not from lowered guys AFAIK.......

I have mids and a prokit....horrible and cant even consider going over speedbumps. Oh and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke5Mr...os=HAJxI0FNbuc
I had sportlines for about a week. **** I would bottom out even with out a bump! I put BMR's on and now I have no worry's. Still got a good drop. The pro's are way better then the sportlines so you might be ok if the roads are good in your area!
