there is never a too low

that said, i have lt's and my exhaust it about 2" from the ground and i have yet to scrape my headers on anything...and being that yours isnt a DD, i say go as low as you can!!

oh and im running sportlines with no isos so i have a very low car

True that!!!!!!! I think I'm going to slam the front with the back a little higher.. Whets a quality brand of lowering spring's? I'm getting some at the end of the week.......

Posted via Mobile Device that will look sick..you can get a tad more drop if you pull the isos off the springs..just remember to wrap the bottom and top coils with electrical tape so there wont be any suspension noise..it can be highly annoying...h&r super sports or eibach sportlines are great spring..they both will drop you 2"...both great handling and quality too

That is a hard question around here LOL!
The raked look will look sweet providing the rear isn't to high in my opinion.

Pitbullstang · Aug 3, 2009

I all was here good things about eibach sportlines, I think I will buy them......thanks for the info!!

I got H&R SS Springs about 2inch drop. Great springs. If you gonna go that low make sure to get C/C Plates.

I disagree. Beware! H&R vert springs are rated for more drop than the coupe springs. For whatever reason mine was absolutely slammed. I have shortys, so I used to scrape the K member. That gets old FAST! I lasted about six months before dumping my front springs for Roush's, and its still LOW.

Thanks I will keep that in mind...

anything over 2" will scrub a lot.
i had sportlines and hated them!!! my H&R race springs are still low and ride much better

Depends on how high your driveway is.

Right about the 2" mark will be borderline with speed bumps. I avoid them.

You have to drive around them when you're low enough.

Posted via Mobile Device my car is dropped a little more than 2" and if i ever do scrape its usually the very enf of my h(closest to the mufflers) or the mufflers themselves..my h hangs lower than my lt's..i have yet to hit my lt's on anything and i live on a crap road that has mega holes and bumps..you should be fine with 2"...but every car is different

Pitbullstang · Aug 4, 2009

As long as I can pull into parking lots with out scraping .I 'm good... she's not my DD so I guess I can go a little lower then 2' in the front…. I'll just have to stay away from speed bumps…

I have H&R Super Sports... two inch drop. I scrape my K member ALL the time. I turn away from speed bumps. I can't imagine having LTs...

Pitbullstang · Aug 5, 2009

Is there like a scratch guard you can weld on to protected the LT''s….. I don't mind scraping as long as nothing get damaged
