I've got the Eibach Pro-Kit on my car with 3 inch bullets and I have no problems scrapping. Unless I go looking for the obvious then of course I'll scrap. Oooo and I don't have turn downs so I guess thats what helps me out alot.

What kind of shocks do you have? If you dont' have good shocks you will bottom out the stock shocks cant' handle that higher spring rates.

ive seen 2.5 true duals out over the axel where you loose zero ground clearance.. you just have to find a really good shop who knows what they are doing.. there is one local shop where i cant stand the owner but they have the best exhaust guy in town, so looks like ill be going there anyways

he charges 500 out the door

I have 3" true duals that dump before the axle and I don't think I can lower the car at all without having some serious clearance issues. On the plus side though the car sounds awesome.

yeah see thats the point im at have a car that sounds really badass cuz my y on it now isnt loud enough and i know theres good ones out there with y's but im a dual person or i just say screw it and lower it which my rims would look a lot better with the car lowered im stuck i might just do both and take the chance of screwing things up
