Enough clearnace with Full Length Hedders and 4-corner 1" drop?

As the subject line says, I want to know if I'd have any issues with a set of full length hedders on my 86' Z/28 with a 4-corner 1" drop? I live in an area with alot of 10 MPH speed bumps. Yeah, those speed bumps are a pain but they really save the kids on my street from being run over by all the idiots around here... Bastards!

So yeah, am I stuck with shorties or what? A 1" drop doesn't seem like enough to warrant clearance issues, but I also know full length hedders hang down a bit.

First hand experience and aquired knowledge are both welcome!

Thanks!

We deal with alot of people who have a 2in drop and the opt for the Hedman LT's because they don't habg quite as low as the Hookers. If you have a 5 spd car the Hedmans won't fit though.
When we coat Hedmans we weld the lower flanges, and we adjust it so the skinniest part of the flange is on the bottom which gains another 1/2 inch of clearence. only having a 1 in drop shouln't give you too much trouble at all, with the Hedmans.
