Calling all lowered 5.0s with LTs
This is more SN95 specific but if you fox guys want to throw down some input thats good too. Here goes:
I have H&R SS springs right now and want to remove my front isos to drop the car some more, but I also want to get some LTs for her, thinkin BBK.
Who is running lowered cars dropped at least 1.75" with longtubes (specify what kind) and let me know what kind of clearance issues you have while driving. If I'm going to be scraping ALL the time I probably won't do it, but let me know. Also if you can give me your ground clearance with the LTs that would be great too, thanks guys!

RE: Calling all lowered 5.0s with LTs
I dont have long tubes tho so this probably wont be very useful,feel free not to read
My 95 is lowered about 2 inchs if i had to guess it doesnt take much of a speed bumb to scrape. ive bottomed out once i believed actually driving down a road, but it was country road and not very good.
Idont know how much the longtubes lower the exhaust system but if you figure youll be about 1.75 lower, you probably have roughly the same ground clearence (my cats do hang a little low, not drastic but you can see the bottom of them looking at the car)

Why lower your car it already looks low, any lower and it would look like ****, something a honda would do. Leave it be. I really like the looks of it and it looks really good the way it is, but this is just my opinion and its not my car, so its up to you.

i was gonna say my bbk shorties,bbk h pipe sit pretty low and i have to go 1 mph over speed bumps and im still at stock height i had a buddy who had bbk lt's and it looked like he had more room than i did stock for stock just different headers.

Thanks for the input so far guys, my car never sees speed bumps and I avoid steep driveways and everything so it's very rare that I have to tackle one.
It is low, but I want it a little lower to take the edge off the wheel gap. Trust me it won't look like ****, and it's nothing like a Honda.

My 87 is lowered about an 1.25" in the front. The motor is dropped about an inch with drop mounts. I have bbk 1 3/4 longtubes, they hang down just below my subframe connecters by about .5". I only scrape them if I drive up on a curb sometimes. If I take it slow and go up at an angle I never scrape.
