RE: PPL with LT's and L.Springs COME IN
I have LT's and frp C-springs. (1.25 inch drop in the front).
I've only had the springs on for about a month, but I have yet to scrap anything. It does get kinda low however the low part is parallel with the wheels so its not in the middle of your car where you would likely be to bottom on in certain areas.
Actually I think the K-member hangs lower than the long tubes; I cant remember.. its only been a month since i've installed the springs I dont know how I dont remember.

someone posted recently about how he had a 2 inch drop but plenty of clearance i think the thread title was something like "exhaust installed ?'s answered here"

+1 I've only scraped 2 or 3 times, and 1 time was in a poor condition sloped driveway at a buddy's house...and once was a monster speedbump at a local park.....you learn real quick what kind of clearance you have and become a good judge of what you can and can't conquer...

you'll be fine as long as you dont drop it more than 2 inches in the front.

Looks like you'd be better off w/ the Pro-Kit instead.. IIRC, the Sport-Kit drops it about 2.25", maybe a little more, depending on the condition of your shocks, and suspension....

sportlines will be a pretty big drop- I would go with the pro kit. I have the MRT springs and plenty of clearance for the BBK LTs. You probably won't scrape all the time with sprotlines but I'm sure you will some.

RE: PPL with LT's and L.Springs COME IN
I just put my LT's in.
I have a 2' in the front and a 1.8' in the back. Speeds bumps are a BIG NO NO! But other than that, I have very good clearance. All the people that say you can't fit LT's on a car dropped 2' are WRONG.

Pretty sure they mean driveability...personally I wouldnt want a car where I could never go over speed bumps; I could never get aroudn campus.
