Your still going to scrape in some places though.

You know whats funny too is that I was gonna weigh the numbers of transforming my car to a normal looking GT with the pypes mid mufflers. I still think it would sound sick with my LT's. But I figured it would be cheaper to buy $150 springs and $300 on new tires vs getting takeoff sideskirts, paying someone to remove the piece off my rear bumper and repaint it and get the new exhaust. O well. If I could go back and do it all over again....I would have still bought my car. I mean I got it cheaper than a regular GT at the time and it already had the nice stuff done to it. Ill fix this issue and move on with my motor work. Should be cammed by christmas

Ditch your 20's for the track make your bro let you use his front tires for your fronts and get another set of stock rims and put d/r on them.

I rarely scrape.
Yeah, you are too low then...side exhaust definitely reduces the clearance.
It looks good but is it worth concrete eating your exhaust.

I went Steeda Sports lowering coils on my 07' GT and the drop is right at 1 1/4" . Its not low and not to high. The Roush rear coils really does level out the car though if that's the spring you choose.
