Are Eibach Sportlines too low for LT Headers? Any Pics?
I have a set of Eibach sportlines from the previous owner of my car sitting in my garage. Would they be too low for LT headers? Would I need to do any other mods to the suspension. Eibach says that they lower the back 2" and the front 1.8". Can someone post some pics if they have these?

Nope you won't have a problem with the sportlines. If I remember correctly they only lower the car about 1.5 inches. I have Steeda springs, lowered the car 2' in the front and 1.8' in the back, even more than the sportlines, and I have zero drivability issues... Only thing I cannot do is speed bumbs... Heres a pic to give you an idea.
Edit: Just read your post again, lol - I guess sportlines do lower it 2' - so I am an even better example

I have the pro-kit w/ LT's & sometimes it scrape's on speed bumps . especially w/ more weight in the car . if you install sportlines , I would stay away from speed bumps . and yes , you should get c/c plates

[sm=bustedsign.gif] Unless you have their coilover kit you didn't drop 2 inches with steeda springs...
From steeda.com:
Sport Springs lower the car 1” to 11/4”
competition springs Lowers the car approximately 11/4”
full competition front springs Approximate 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" lowering
2003 cobra sport springs 1.25" front and 1.00" rear
