I'll take pics next week, pm me to remind if I don't repost here. The steeda comps lower 1'' front, 1.2'' rear (stated) and I've had zero bottoming issues other than my front spoiler (CDC) on some 45 degree garages. The steeda ultralites supposedly lower 1.2'' front and 1.5'' rear so we'll see later this week how those work out.

Okay thanks a ton. The pro kit says they lower 1.4 in the front and 1.5 in the rear so that will be close to the ultralights I guess

Sam Strano (whom I purchased the ultralights from) told me they lower a "bit" more than the prokit. We'll see this week. I'll take some pics.

Since I'm taking it to les Schwab they do a 4 wheel alignment with it so I don't need anything else do i. No other parts are necessary correct?

Sounds good. The ultralites will be installed Tuesday night when they arrive...unless I'm distracted. Friday night by the latest. I'll be sure to take before/after clearance pics.

Pypes mid mufflers...my sig says pypes M-80s because I had some additional exhaust work done. Essentially the pypes mid mufflers with a different piping setup but same rear clearances as the stock mid-muffler configuration. The stock Pype setup had major issues with fitment/clearance along with my JBA headers and midpipe so I cannot list it as Pypes "mid muffler". They "may" sit further up than the stock mid muffler setup..
