Sportlines and Boxed Subframe Connectors

Anyone have this combo?
My car sits pretty low right now, and I'm not sure about the clearance issue with boxed subframe connectors. From the photos I've seen it doesn't look like it would be a big deal. They say you lose ¾" of clearance.
I know I could just go with the tubular set. I just figured if I was going to get them I'd spend the extra money for the stronger boxed set.
Any one with sportlines and any boxed subframes connector please let me know how bad it is...
Thanks

I went with Edelbrock's sub frame connectors and they are great. I know they aren't the boxed connectors, but they work and were super easy to install. Put them up and weld them in, only hitch was the rear bolt for the control arms. You either have to completely remove these bolts and try to reinsert them through the connectors, or do like I did and notch the connectors and merely loosen the bolt. The other nice thing about them is you don't lose any clearance.

A stock exhaust hangs lower than boxed SFC's. The people who "complain" about clearance are full of crap.
