I may be out of luck too. Looking at Roush's site I'm probally to low to get LTs, without measuring and going by what's on the site I am 2" in the front and 1.25" in the rear. I'm not sure if that is exact though, I'll have to do some measuring.

You can;

1-Install LTs and take your chances.

2-Install shortys

3-Install LTs and put taller springs in the front

Make the best decision you can. I'd love LTs, but when it's all said and done, shortys fit my needs and they are more affordable.

Correct. The cheapest thing to do is nothing; which is also an option.

I have the Eibach Pro's and no issues with my headers scraping, they are an inch and a half in the front. Only time I get hung is if I'm going up/down something that I would scrape on stock anyways.

Same here.


FRPP springs and the Kooks LT's.


I don't see what the headers have to do with clearance. They don't appear to be any lower than the stock setup was. The bottom of the pumpkin and the brackets for the LCA's on the axles are much lower. I bottomed out once on a ledge into a garage, I looked underneath and I had the pipe clamp with the nut facing the ground, I rotated it up and out of the way and have been fine ever since. It's really not a problem for me. And my neighborhood has rolled curbs on the street. I'll see if I can find a pic...

I'm looking but apparently I never cared to take a pic of the underside of the car. I've got plenty of other pics though.

I'm still looking though...

I'll tell you what...I'll take some pics after work tomorrow. What exactly do you want to see?

Where the headers and the cats are and how much they lay below the oil pan and transmission? From the midpipe back its just the stock axelbacks in their original position.

I've got the wifes point and shoot. I'll stick it up under the car and see what happens.

Good shots. My concern is that the collectors would hang lower than the frame rails. These shots look pretty good. I don't see anything lower than the frame.

Hey bud, my headers DO NOT protrude under the chassis. They are tucked up there and NEVER get scraped!

That's definitely reassuring to know there shouldn't be an issue.
