    Ground Clearance

    All you guys running long tubes with lowered cars, what's your ground clearance like? Right now I'm about 2" maybe a little more at the collector. Anyone one else running low? Are you having any "running a ground" issues? Besides the obvious speed bump issues.

    I was hoping my 289 would hold out until the winter but in May, it decided it had enough of the Paxton and decided to blow out 2 pistons.

    why 620's over stock springs

    Just curious on this one (trust me I searched my a$$ off and found everyone was using the 620's, but why.). I'm looking to change mine out because of some tire rubbing issues. I like the ride height I have but the shocks and springs seem to be shot. Any thoughts would be great.
