Default Springs with SLP long tubes

Looking for anyone running slp long tubes who have front springs and how low I can go and drive around not scrapping my headers on the ground. Pics would be a plus.

Did you already have the car lowered or was that at stock height?

Yeah same here...I have the SLP longtubes and I want to lower it, but there is no way to do it without killing them.

You can do it, just gotta be careful. My last LS1 had LG G2 springs and SLP LTs and with slicks and skinnies the headers were low enough to scrape on the little mounds of extra asphalt that are sometimes (at least here) in the road.

Any drop more than 1" and you will be desperately regretting your decision. Driving around town is manageable, but can be difficult. Speed bumps and sharp parking lot entrances will be your mortal enemy. FYI I'm going back to shock springs.

are QTP headers any better in this regard?
I have been considering LTs for some time, and Pacesetters are not my style
