Will this cause a ground clearance problem?

I am considering purchasing a set of eibach sportline springs (and all the other goodies needed to do the job right) for my GT. In the fall , I plan to install a set of BBK LT headers.

Will I have problems with the headers bottoming out with the 2" drop provided by these springs, if so other than coil-overs what spring set-up would you recommend?

Thanks

Greg

Yes you will have problems.
I have the eibach sportlines ,and i scrapped with the factory h pipe,and with my aftermarket h pipe with cats aswell .So i couldn't imagine having long tubes with theses springs.
What about the pro kit.Those springs have a nice drop once they settle in, and still look like they might still have the clearance for long tubes.


Judge for yourself,here is a link of my drop.

Your car with the springs is going to bottom out regardless unless you never go to a gas station or a department store. Just try to be real careful.

Yes, your car will definitely bottom out. I have the pro kit and it sometimes scrapes on speed bumps.

If you're careful, you might pass. I always pull in sideways at an angle to areas with high rises and it usually does better than going straight up and over. Maybe the same can work for you....
