The kid that lives behind me droped his car and put LT's on it and hits everything

Those speed bumps are a bugger, avoid those if you can!!

yeah ummm you don;t need tires that cost that damn much... for the **** of christ that is way to much... i could very easily find you tires for half of that that will perform just like those ever would

I got sportlines and LTs...the speed bumps suck

I got Pro-Kit and LTs, so speed bumps will probably suck but not as much.

My headers clear a 6" center-post hoist and im happy with my ride height. rub rub rub it in!

you know it really isnt bad...speed bumps is the only issue and you can avoid them pretty easy

Watch out for steep drive ways too.

just approach at an angle and youre usually fine.

Hey man, if Roger Penske made it up our driveway at work (which is quite the steep angle) in his Bugatti Veyron...anything is possible.

Actually everyone really got off track. The springs lower the car from original height by 1.3 Inches. but none of you are taking into account how the springs are already low because of sag. Our anticipated ride height will still be the same after its all done but have a good ride and not bottom out.

Like i said before, those measurements arent always accurate. How much different are the spring rates from whats in there now? Brian said his bottoming out is due to bad shocks - i have the same issue but my ride height [at rest] is still fine.

My ride height at rest is lower than most stock FBodies.

Everyone always insists my car is lowered but it's really just saggy springs and bad shocks. I have a good feeling that when we put these new springs on that it MAYBE will be 1 inch difference but I think it'll honestly be more like a HALF INCH difference than where my car sits currently.
