max drop w/ side exit exhaust?

[matsm21]

id like to drop my car 2". would this be too much with side exit exhaust. im gonna get the spintechs.

depends... you have a convertible so it is recommended to get subframe connectors... if you get the spintech stepped connectors you won't lose as much ground clearance.

i had trouble with bumps without my car being dropped even a little bit...

 

[matsm21]

how much was the cobra R lowered, or was the suspension stiffened so the exhaust wouldnt bottom out?

 

[tarch]

their muffler is very different than what you would be installing... the Cobra R side exhaust is designed for the IRS of a cobra so the muffler is in the middle and then from it exit two pipes. the pipes hang really low on the cobra R as well.. dangerous to go over bumps.

also the cobra R doesn't have subframe connectors

so basically if I wanna drop anything at all, I should go out the back?

 

[matsm21]

bump

 

[tarch]

it would be more sensible to go out the back...

however if you want to be unique do go to the side, just keep it in mind when you're driving over bumps

 

[matsm21]

yea, and potholes.sucks, but it looks like i'll be goin out the back. cars a daily driver so thats an issue.

 

[tarch]

mine is a daily driver as well...
the driveway is steep and i have 4 bumps to go over just go get to the main road... and from then on bumps everywhere...

i thought about it and decided that i want to be unique so i got the roush exhaust... i've been looking under the car to figure out if i can squeeze some more clearance and it appears that i could... however it's not too much...

it's just a risk i had to take and i have not regretted it once...

how much lower are roush's then stock GT's

 

[tarch]

at least 1.25" maybe more... i bet they scrape all over the place

 

[mike2858]

eventually ill be dropping mine .75-1.25 with the bullitt suspension. hopefully its not too bad. and i have a cobra R front

 

[tarch]

my answer to this problem is 18"... although right now i am in a mess with them

lol

but yeah i am lowering 1.25" as well
