DMS springs+Kook headers+18's=Ground Clearance? Hey guys I have some Kook headers (not installed yet, 1 7/8) and was looking to buy the DMS springs. I am also looking into buying some 18" wheels. I have a 99 TA that is a daily driver.
I would like to hear from people who have the kooks and there ride is lowered. Is the ground clearance bad? A lot of scraping? Do the kooks hang pretty low?
I would like to thank you guys in advance for your comments.

My camaro is lowered and on 17's and my old 18's, ground clearance was great. The Kooks tuck up nice in neat, better than other headers I have seen. I would be careful on sharp incline drives but other than that should be ok.
The 18's help the ground clearance.

Kooks are the best for giving a lot of ground clearance. People have used them with sportline springs. How low do DMS go? I can't imagine many springs would be lower than sportlines

18's or 17's or 16's have nothing to do with ground clearance unless you're putting the wrong size tire on them. If the diameter of the rim increases then the profile should decrease therefore keeping the outer diameter unchanged

not to go off topic but are you running anything over 396 cubes, 1 7/8 headers are huge for anything under 400 cubes,
