Default question on lowered cars

I have my camaro down about 2 inches. (intrax springs) Will I have any clearance issues if I put on 3 piece sub frame connectors? Anyone out there with intrax springs plus sub frame connectors?

If they hang more than 1" considering you are 2" drop then yes you will rub in alot of places. It can be done but it will make you hate your car since you constantly hit ****, like inclines, speed bumps and road debris.
My car is lowered with hyperco springs and my headers and y pipe hate it. I scrape when I'm not careful and road debris can suck ***.

I hit with just the prokit. Take it slow and you might be good. There's always the bumps that sneek up on ya though.

As far as the benfits of sub frames (extra weight, less clearance, chasis stiffness), ignore them just get a 6point roll cage. Looks more like a race car.

I have the bmr tubular weldins and I know of a few other brands out there that tuck up very nicely. My collectors of my pacesetter LT's hang lower then the sfc's

SFC's dont hang down too much, maybe 1/4" and i have bolt ins... its the headers that will get you on a lowered car.

First of all he has not said what brand he will use or how much actual clearance he currently has, he only asked would I have clearance issues. Dont be ignorant and say he will be ok. You are missing the critical info that would make this a yes or no answer. A lowered car will always rub in sum places, and that is something everyone needs to understand. These cars were not designed to be lower than stock. To much **** under the car hangs lower than it should stock.
