Out of curiosity, have you had any issues scraping the splash guards since you lowered the car? I have them as well and they're the only thing causing reservations about lowering it. Sad that $140 worth of molded plastic could sway my decision.
love your car btw. IOM was my first choice, but couldn't find the trim level i wanted when i bought.

The front splash guards are the ones that are pretty low, but they have not ever hit on anything and I doubt they ever will. The connecting pipes to my headers hang about 1/4" lower than the splash guards and I have only hit those once when I didn't see a parking lot speed bump and went over it too fast. It just barely tapped them, because it didn't even leave a mark or scratch them. I'll go snap a pic of how low they hang.

Clearance after lowering. This is with your standard 3.5" wide 2x4.

Car looks great! I know we met years ago back when you were racing your '98 SS.
What do you think of those headers from a quality standpoint?

Well, these headers were very close to the steering shaft and passenger side K memeber. I was aware of that ahead of time and that's why there was such an insane deal on the set up, they are redesigning them for a better fit. Other than that, the quality is outstanding. I've been a TIG welder for over 12 years and these are some really nice welds. The mandrel bends are nice and round (not like the OBX headers) and the header flanges were true and very thick. Best bang for the buck mod I have done so far.

I didn't have the car for even two weeks before I did all the suspension, so I didn't get too used to it. But it feels AWESOME now. Not too much of a bumpy or stiff ride and it handles like it's on rails! I feel so much more connected to the road and the car feels so much more solid. Honestly it feels much like driving a Z06.
