yeah, well its lowered 1 3/4 inches.. you think that'd be a prob? The long tubes shouldnt come down that much further should they?

+1 on the BBKs. I have 1 5/8" long tubes, they were almost as easy to install as shorties (I removed my emmision equipment which helped alot)and I have no ground clearance issuses and my car is lowered 1 1/2".
