Is a 2" drop too much???

[PSCBrenden]

I am going to be droping my car in the next couple of weeks and want to order the parts this week. Only question is 2" to much if im thinking of getting headers..... Will the underside of the car be scraping on speedbumps with the 2"?
Tell me what you think.

I have H&R supersports which aren't quite a 2" drop and I scrape going over speed bumps and steep driveways etc. If you have long tubes, you will definitly scrape.

Even if you don't go with long tubes and lower 1.5" you'll still scrape on some speedbumps and obstacles. You will just have to learn new routes, or take your time over certain speedbumps (you'll learn which ones very quickly) and hope those behind you are patient and understanding.

I have 1.5" drop and i have scrapped the bottom of my tranny on speed bumps once or twice, i wouldnt go any lower than 1.5

as long as your not stupid like me and drop your car 2" AND put a front Roush lip on, you will live. You will still scrape going up steep driveways and certain speedbumps.

Eibach Pro-Kit here. It's not quite 1-1/2 inches. I can't imagine going any more. I have to be very careful with speed bumps and inclines. Any lower and it would be a major pain, IMHO!

 

[pony_vert02]

all of the above!

Not to rob PSC's thread here, but blueovalguy, you mentioned the long tube scraping. How bad of scraping are we talking about with a 1.3" drop in the front? Bad enough to rule them out in favor of shorty's?

 

[01svtbra]

I've got the steedas,which are basically the same as pro kit and hes right. 2" is really too low

 

[mity2]

2" drop, and LT header. u will scrape dude

 

[Testcase]

2" drop and scrape a lot. My Mach1 chin spoiler is starting to look ragged...

 

[1low03gt]

Looks hot,handles hot,and gets compliments a lot!!
But man do my cats get a good scrapping (going slow over certain speed pumps),and my Mach 1 chin spoiler is looking a little rashed up,and that is being careful!!

Where is the cheapest place to buy Steeda springs? I have a store near me that sells them for $190. Is that a good price or does anyone else online sell them cheaper?

 

[White Stang]

I have c-springs and am glad I did not go lower. As it is I have to crawl over speed mounds and my roush valance clears parking curbs by a hair

 

[jc315]

I just installed the sport lines on mine and havent' scrapped yet. but as eveyone else has said LT probably will b/c it is really close to the speed bumps I stopped on top of one and got out to check and clearance was minimal so I would say go with the pro kit.I measured my car from the ground the front clip is 6in exactly from the ground and the rear is close to 7"1/4

Guy I know has steeda on his 01, I've got ProKit on my 03... we were side by side not too long ago looking on the front and mine was definitely lower. I've heard different things about the ProKit, but mine dropped 1.5-1.75. I don't scrape a whole lot, but I take everything real slow.

If you drop by 1 1/2" or so can you still drive up a pair of Rhino Ramps?

no i cant...the front on the car is about 1 inch too low I had to make my own whick are reeeeely long lol

 

[okc2KGT]

ive got a 1.8" drop and i just drove up a pair yesterday.

 

[CottonBurnerz]

i would get the 2" drop as well but I already have LT.. so I went with steeda which is 1.25" - 1.5" drop. No scrape so far so I'm happy
