Default SLP headers & Eibach springs, clearance issues??

I was wondering if anyone has any experience or information about running Eibach Sport-Line lowering kit with SLP long Tube Headers W/ Y-pipe. I really want to use both but not sure if there are any clearance issues. There is always the less aggressive Pro-kit but from what Ive read the performance is not as good. Any info is appreciated. Thanks

With the SLP headers there can be some clearence problems when using lowering kits, speed bumps and steep driveways are the main problems.

Installed SLP longtubes with SLP suspension kit and longtubes are too low. I installed headers 2 months before I lowered the car now I've taken the headers off the car and I won't buy another set untill i've seen them on a car.

I'll get some photos of the PPC headers on a 1.5" lowered car for you, this weekend & post them. I think you'll like what you see.

TTS Long Tubes and 1.5" drop springs are OK. The headers are nice and tight. The Y and the DS Cat is a little low.

You're lowest point is going to be the cats, so if you're running cats you might have some clearance issues, but if you don't have cats, you shouldn't have any problem <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I have just added PayPal shopping cart, too.

Please take a look & let me know if you see the pricing & "add to cart" buttons.

I have SLP LT headers on my 2002 Camaro SS. I got the Bilstein suspensions as an option. I was warned not to get the SLP headers. I got them anyway and I was glad that I did. I do not have any scraping problems. Just use common sense and go over speed bumps slowly. This is something that you should be doing anyway.
