Default ground clearance

What kind of ground clearance is there with some of these Longtube headers? I plan on lowering my 2k Z with either BMR or DMS springs. What am looking at with like KOOKS,HOOKER,PPC and QTPs? I will give a couple horses not to bottom out.

BMR springs drop the car about 1 inch. The DMS springs drop alil more (not sure exactly how much). The hookers have great ground clearance. I have a 1.5" drop with the Jet Hots (modelled after the hookers) and i have no clearance issues.

I havent heard too many people with the kooks headers yet so I dont know how the ground clearence is on em. All the others you listed are good with ground clearence. Stay away from the SLP headers if your looking to lower the car

Thanks for the insight!! Like I said I don't want to worry about bottoming out besides speed bumps of course. It would be good to hear from some people with Kooks on.

I've got the Kooks, but I don't have my ypipe on. Just fitting the ypipe up there looks like it will have tons of clearance.

Wonder how MAC's are with clearance, the Y on my MAC's (with cat's) sits pretty low I think. I wanna lower my car about 1-1.5"
