Default Pacesetter LT's and lowering springs?

Anyone have pacesetter headers and are lowered. Plan to get pacesetter headers in the near future but first want to do some suspension mods to get some better handling. But dont want to have ground clearance problems when I get LT's. So does anyone have pacesetter LT's and lowering springs, if so how much and do you have any clearance issues?
Thanks

I have the pacesetter lt's for the lt1 and the prokit. Havent driven the car yet but there appears to be plenty of room under there. I think you should be more worried about the exhaust tube routing and its placement vertically underneath the car. But then again i have no exhaust routed yet so i cant help you there.

I have Pacesetter LT's and Hotchkis springs. The headers aren't a problem, but the y-pipe is, in my case.

No problems other then the fact the Y-pipe hits the head shield from time to time. Just remember that once you lower a car is it is lower and long tubes are long tubes.

I have Kooks and DMS Springs. So far I love the combo (among other mods I have). Like Pacesetters...Kooks tuck up nicely so hopefully that is somewhat of a good comparison for you.

Headers are fine with my Hotchkis springs, only have to worry about the y-pipe scrapping here and there. Its really not a problem.
