ATTN: WS6/SS/Firehawk owners with LT's

A question for you WS6/SS/Firehawk owners. If you have longtubes and the factory Eibach springs, how is your ground clearance? Do you scrape over speed bumps, train tracks, driveways, ect?

Re: ATTN: WS6/SS/Firehawk owners with LT's

Here is what you need to do. Meet me somewhere, either drive or ride in my car with the LT's on stock height. We'll go through Boardman or wherever and test out how it is on stock height with LT's. Then go around in Flusz28's car with MAC's slightly lower and see what he scrapes on. When we were cruising last weekend, I am pretty sure he scraped more times than I. Then imagine if his car had LT's or mine was lowered. I think that would be your most informative move. Let me know.

I'm just a phone call away. PM me for my number, even though I think I already sent it.

Firehawk with the Bilstein/Eibach suspension and QTP LT's with no problems... ever.

Whoops, just realized you're talking an LT1 with earlier springs versus the LS1.

Yeah, for some reason, the LS1 has better ground clearance with LT's
