the ones from the iroc-z might be wore out already thus the car might be lowered already..

I have long tube headers and dual exhaust ending with two 1 chamber flowmasters before the rear axle.My car is dropped about 2",and with 275 40 17 tires. The lowest point on my car is about 1 7/16" off the ground with no one in the car.That is the bottom of my headers. But with shorty headers and only a 1" drop,you should have a lot more clearance than me.

If you could have seen the speed bump that I shredded with my Spohn torque arm solid front mount. It sits about 3 1/2" off the ground. If I ran duals I gaurantee they would not last a day.

With that car's ride height, I can hear that metal screaming now. One question why so low, it serves no purpose except to look like a ---------(insert own discription)????
