I have about 3.5" ground clearance at the lowest point which is the collector, but that was with old stock springs. I gained about 1/4-1/2 of ground clearance though from the motor mounts, they raised the engine and in turn raised my headers a bit too. I'll get measurments after the pro kit is in and post them up.

Thanks for the input. I was going to sand blast the control arms but at the time the sand I had was too wet to use so I just went over them with a wire wheel. I got this paint from the auto body supply place I use that is specifically meant for the chassis. It says it also stops existing/prevents new rust
It dries rather quickly and can be sprayed on or brushed and it seems to have a rubberized texture to it when it dries. It's also satin black; I took those picture right after I sprayed the last coat on so they are more dull right now that they have dried. I'll eventually be swapping in tubular control arms so this is good enough for now.
Thanks for all the other compliments/opinions!
