Default Clearance Question

Hey everyone, my name's Shawn and i've been reading these forums for like the last 6 months. I decided today that i should finally make a username. My car is in the sig, and I had a question about clearance if I lower my car. Do you think that with Eibach Sportlines and LT's I would be asking for trouble? I know how to take speedbumps, but i just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't have any problems. Oh and by the way, those two werent both gonna be the first two mods, ive already got a list of stuff thats gonna be going in at about the same time.

EDIT: Its a 5spd, so dont worry about headers.

I lowered my car 1 1/4 - 1 3/8 and the clamp to the mid pipe only hits a speed bump if I don't go over slow. If I go a little too fast sometimes I hear a little noise. I only heard a noise twice and have gone over some pretty hairy speed bumps.

reading for 6 months an only now have a user name!

as far as clearance, i think you would run into problems with that setup, i have the pro-kit, wich is less of a drop
and i scrap my stock midpipe from time to time!

you havta be VERY careful

Well, i decided today that LT's arent for me due to the dam Cali emission laws. I started a thread earlier asking advice on headers, and ive decided to either stay stock, or just get some shorties. im getting a midpipe/catback for sure, but now i dont think i will have as many problems lowering it. thanks for the help.
