lowering springs

RE: lowering springs
Wow. Usually the midpipe hits the worse or first I thought. Maybe that's only the case with low speed speedbump type altercations and not with hi speed dip type altercations. Are your Flowmasters that low? My Sportlines put my car lower that the ProKit and my Maganflows have never ever ever been scraped but my Prochamber sure has! I highly recomend the Eibach Sportlines. One day a friend and I were racing. He had his Sprtlines on his '04 Mach and his 40 Series weld-in Flowmasters. We went over an awful bump at very hi speeds. I was in my GT back when it had cut springs on (slammed to the ground). It made a really bad sound. My friend's Sportlines and Flowmasters didn't have any problems though. Now I have the Sportlines and I don't have those type of probs.

When you did your pro-kit did you change your shocks and struts? I wanna do the pro-kit but I don't wanna wear out my suspension faster.

I would not recommend going any lower than the Eibach Pro Kit (max = 1.5”). I run the Pro Kit and STILL scrap on damn near everything – cannot imagine what the setups that drop it even lower would be like!

Not sure where those wif Sportlines are driving (maybe in the desert), but I scrape quite a bit with the Pro Kit. From steep driveway curbs, to sharp dips in the road, to seemingly mild speedbumps. Like I said - I could not imagine any more of a drop. Oh, I have stock shorties (soon to be replaced with SLP L/T headers) and SLP Catted-X wif LM II's....

RE: lowering springs
My traction has always sucked cuz I am running the OEM Goodyears with better than OEM HP/TQ. I don't think that it sucks any worse that it used to. I don't think that lowering springs make your day-to-day traction suck much/any worse. I think it makes the difference when you head to the track, and try to hook major horsepower on top of a sheet of everybody else's burned rubber aiming to shave a few 10ths of time off of your best run. That's probably when it matters. Not sure, just guessing.
