Get the plates!

How low are you going? LT's are always a clearance issue duder. I often scrape my midpipe on crap and I don't even have headers.

If you want to not scrape your headers, install a set of full length sub frame connectors. You'll bottom out on them before you hit the headers.

My bad! I was looking at a pic of the underside of my car and noticed that they do, in fact, hang lower than my SFC's.....

your plan sounds good, get the c/c plates, I have mine lowered a little and my mufflers scrape every now and then... just take it easy over speed bumps and be careful in the snow

I have tokico d-specs as well and love them
