Thinking about drop?
 
Has anyone droped there car? Mine is only for show so I am very close in doing this within the next month.. Changing shocks to bilsteihn, hotchkis coil 1 1/2 drop to 2 maybe. I have SLP subframe conectores. I am just woried about hitting anything, but as I said the car is for show and cruise ones in a while..

whats your exhaust situation? and how big are your tires? you will probably be ok for cruising and showing.

no headers? and i mean like 295/35's or what ever you have. i think you will be ok though. get some rear lower control arm relocation brackets too. and lca's if you don't already. the angle changes alot when you lower your car and you will have alotta wheel hop if you don't touch them.
my car is lowered about 2 inches. not really sure though bought it like that. it looks like your tires are pretty tucked into the fenders right now. that would be my main concern.

Yea got Edelbrk headers, UMI lower control arms and adjustible panhard rod..
Hows your cat, did u every smack it at all? That is my main concern.. I changed mine to a HPCatco looks smaller. I guess I should be ok.

i have shorty headers and the cat is in the stock spot. its welded on a slight angle up. if anything is gunna hit, it would be that cross member where the i-pipe first goes over. thats probably the most prone to a scrape or two. cat should be ok. maybe scrape over speed bumps, but mostly ok.
