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.

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.
