Default LT's,ORP,SFC's--Ground Clearance???

Ive got KBDD SFC's on order for my 99 Z28 RS and will eventually get 18's, lowering kit, and LT Headers with an ORY (obviously) but i was wondering if this would bring up any ground clearance problems in the future.

Oh and does anyone with an RS have KBDD SFC's pics mabey?

Thanks,

LT's and lowering usually don't mix well, but it depends.

How low are you going to go, and which LT's.

If you are getting SLP's nix the lowering. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I have FLP long tubes and they are about flush with the oil pan, maybe a tad lower. The ORY should be the same clearence as the headers. Just take it easy on the speed bumps. Sorry can't help you with the SFCs.

You should be fine as long as you are careful. Of course this all depends on how low you go. Many people have the same mods as you with lowered cars, so it is possible. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Well, I'm thinking about putting the stock springs back on the rear of my car since I'm having some slight clearence problems after installing the 3" true-duals if that tells you anything. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

You just have to be real careful where you go. Stay out of parking garages and off speed bumps. Take steep driveways at an angle, etc. If it's your daily driver, don't do it. But that's just my opinion.
