I figure my side skirts will scrape a little bit on big speed bumps, but not in a way that you can see unless getting up under the car...and if I take it super slow it shouldn't be too bad...I know a guy with a Z06 that is waaaaaaaaaaaay lower than what I will be and he doesn't scrape on the speed bumps...so I think I'm good lol

Your car and your call but I think you will have no issues if you just are aware of your surrounding and the areas you drive in!

IMO, it would be either #1 or #2.

Do yourself a HUGE favor and get the Saleen suspention package with the Saleen Watts link (if you can also afford it).

Saleen is a 150 man team that won LeMans hands down for several consecutive years against huge companies like Audi. (82,000 employees)

The complete Saleen suspension package is so good that a Saleen car with the full suspension option beats out every single vehicle sold in America by a good number stock for stock.

The Saleen full suspension handles even better than the Enzo, and actually every car sold in the automotive history of America.

The FRPP suspension only handles slightly better than the stock and barely better than the GT500 suspension, even though it's as firm as the Saleen suspension. I haven't tested with the BMR suspension, but if you can compare it to the Roush suspension then it only a decent improvement and still miles behind the Saleen suspension (Roush is like the difference between stock and the GT500 difference x2.5, while Saleen is something like x5, FRPP would be x1.5).

I know what i'm talking about actually btw.

What about the adjustability of the Tokico's? What is the drop of the saleen springs? I know the Saleen suspension is a really nice package...BUT what are the specs on it and why don't many people run it? I'm not saying you are wrong, but I just want to know everything about the setup before I go and spend $800 on it lol know what I mean?

Ok...so with the Saleen suspension would I need to go with an adj. panhard bar and camber bolts...why doesn't their kit include it if you need to re-center the axle and fix the camber after lowering the car?
