My ground clearance isn't that good. I have Eibach sportlines and Hooker LTs. With nobody in the car, I have 1.25 inches of clearance. When I get in, it's probably more like 1" even.

Every day. It's not so bad as long as you're mindful of speedbumps and the like. I can even get out of my curbed driveway without scraping if I angle it sharply enough.

Only for a couple of days until I got it to the exhaust shop. It's 3" piping all the way back now.

Sorry no pics and my car isn't lowered but I do know that Kooks LT headers are tucked up real tight to allow for lowering.My Y pipe bangs like crazy but it's worth the horses.I have Kooks 1-3/4 long tubes

Yeah, but the car looks so good sitting as low as it does. I'm used to having to compensate my driving with them now, so it doesn't really bother me.

Oh, and here's how it sits:

These may not help..

SLP LT's and Eibach Pro Kit.. TERRIBLE ground clearance.. Almost as bad as his... ^ .. NO speed bumps at all! If I have no choice, they have to be taken at a wicked angle and VERY slowly.

It's about an inch and a half off the ground from the collectors and the Y.... if that...

For a lot of guys with older muscle that have dropped their car and have LT's and still want to drive their car on the street, they make skid plates for their headers. It's like two metal skis welded to the lowest point (scraping point) of your headers.

The 94 skids on some of the taller speed bumps and I'm a stock ride height . I think it either hits the collectors or the cat.

I have about 3 1/2" of clearence from the bottom of the flange to the ground. They've scraped a bit here and there, but nothing big. I'm having much bigger problems now with the Spohn T/A with the crossoever tube which is angled for the LT y-pipe.
