Default Lowering Car with LT's ANyone

has anyone had a problem with scraping or draging when you have longtubes and lowering springs?

I run a Eibach Pro Kit (1.5 in. drop) and i have plenty of room. It looks like i could drop another 1/2 in. without any problems too.

I run BBK long tubes btw.

Ya if you have the H&R Sports or Eibach Pro Kit most people don't have much of an issue, but if you have anything over 1.5" scrapage is highly likely!

Some people have no clue....

My mac Long tubes tuck better than my stock H pipe and my o/r H pipe.

If you can't tell in the pictures, I still have my stock cross brace connected and the Mac Long Tubes tuck quite nicely. I couldn't hit the road with my long tubes if I tried......




And this is how much i'm dropped.

You can see how low my car is (much lower then any lower springs) and I have yet to ever scrape my exhaust.
