MGW + Lowering + 4" driveshaft?

I was wondering if anyone knows if a MGW will clear a 4"DS with the car being lowered?

I have a DSS alum shaft & MGW in my Boss at the stock ride height and looks like there is plenty of clearance between the shaft and the shifter. Call George at MGW if you have any questions, he's got a Laguna Seca. Guess it all depends on just how much of drop you are considering, and by what means/suspension parts you will use to reach your goal.

Thanks for the info. I did speak to George, he essentially said I may or may not have issues. He said I could remove the heat shield to assist.

As far as drop, I have adjustable suspension, so hopefully I can address any clearance issues that way.

I just purchased the driveshaft.

Thanks again.

Np, my bet is you won't have any issues up to a 1.5" drop, after that, not so sure. What gears do you have in the rear?

I have the 3.73 torsen rear.

I probly have it dropped to ~1.7 right now, if I have to raise it, that's fine.
