Default How much ground clearance....

Do you guys with lowered cars have? I saw a thread by XtinctHawk02 that had pics of his car lowered with hotchkis springs and thought it looked great. Anyways I went out and measured my lowest point under the car. Since I installed QTP LT's and their catted Y last week this in now my lowest point and it is only 3.75" off the ground (y-pipe) . I know the hotchkis are only like a 1" drop but I would still like to know what you guys have and if you have any problems. Thanks.

I have 3.5 inches from the ground to one of my cats. And my suspension is still stock. I have no plans to lower it unless I switch from the SLP LT's.

I've got Hooker LT's with Eibach 1.4 in. springs (Pro Kit). I have no problems. Just be smart, go slow over bumps.

I cant go over speed bumps and have to be careful on bumpy roads. I have Hotchkis springs. But I also have 3" duals, which takes a lot of clearence away.
