Post Lowered LS1 cars and Longtubes

Does anyone have a car that is lowered using Eibach's sportline springs and a set of longtubes. What I need to know is if there is enough clearance so you wont damage your headers....Any info would be appreciated

I had the Eibach Pro kit on my 98 SS and it beat the crap out of my exhaust. Forget EVER going over a speed bump, it will really get ugly! Some longtubes hang down a bit lower then others. I have Hooker Super Comp's and I am changing out my springs for better drag racing springs right now.

The only set I know of that won't drag is FLP's....SLP's are the worst...I think there are some pics in my sig of the clearence...waring though, some pics are addictive ....have you lowered the car yet...if not, you may wanna think about going with Hals so you can adjust your ride height..

Do you have any pics of your ride....I'd like to see the black on pewter stripes....I was thinking of gun metal ghost flames on my ride

Thanks

I have FLPs and a Pro Kit on my car. I have 4.25" clearance from my Y pipe to the ground and that is without cats.
