i need to measure, its tough to imagine a lower fbody than mine, although my cats are what makes mine low. <2" under then.

EDIT: 7" from the bottom of the bumper to the ground, 4" from the bottom of the black piece to the ground.
Not even close.

*Cough*cut springs* Got the car that way. Yeah its my daily driver, lets say I've got the whole angle and creep technique on lock down. I've got some nice scars on my y-pipe and the tail section of the tranny.

my y-pipe is lower, its between 1.5" and 1.75" inches, but you are lower on the front bumper and air dam. i guess i need my y-pipes tucked better.

since you guys are redifining "low ride",
I'm wondering what is the tallest tire that will fit on an f-body with 17" wheels and eibach pro-kit?

Don't know that answer, but I can tell you that Alex's rear end is lower than mine and after some manipulation, he runs 17x11" zr1's with 315x40 tires.

I've got 255/55/17's front and rear on stock springs and turning is still ok, wondering if I can still turn with the pro-kit? don't want to just do it and then the tires don't fit or rub all the time.

With my posted ride height, I am running 255x40 r17's all the way around, no rubbing issues. But 255x55's 17's would have a sidewall ~1.5 inches taller. If you want, I could bolt them up to my car and test fit it.
