ya, your gona have to see how it is, with whatever headers, and Ypipe. I have the BMR trans Xmember with the TA plate. thats the lowest part. Nothing like the spohn mid TA, that sucks. and SLP LTs thouse hit 1st for the middle of the car. for drag, just get a good coil over for the front and you can move it around for whateevr height you want. I got my strange single adjustables form paul at PM performance. I got a hookup at somthing like $120 a shock. But there retail is 150, still leass then QA1, and there way better. I daily drive, and have the short, and the long speed bumps leaving my complex, and the air damn will scrap if going fast. I run the stock springs on them. Just tonight on my stock heavy chrome wheels, and my 24/7 Drs. It was pulling both tires with them on zero. Cory said it they were up a bit, I’ll see in the vids. Cut a 1.600 1.610 1.621. stock rear shocks 75K on them now, need to get somthing better. But no rear insolaters, and I’ve cut about 1 1/4 coils off so far, and I’d still like the lower the rear another 1/2 inch. you can still get a low car to hook. ---

I put pro kit springs on mine. Not a crazy drop like the sport lines, but definitely noticeable. I do not scrap with them either. I’m happy. ---
