Question Long tube headers with bmr 1.4'' drop

Anyone ever have issues with headers scraping with a 1.4'' drop.
Planning on ordering long tubes and bmr 1.4'' drop springs.

I think it'd take a lot more than a 1.4 inch drop to make the collectors rub on these cars

If the collectors are rubbing, then so is your sub frames lol

I have Kooks with the older style two bolt flanges, and yes, on speed bumps I have to slow way down or I will hit them. At those speeds, it's just an annoyance, but it happens.

With mine lowered i can feel the transmission move before anything hits the headers. Just under there doing a clutch and most scrapes are tranny and ttjen some on mid pipes. Dont think any were on the long tubes them self

I have 1.25" and longtubes and I'll scrap depending on the speed bump and how fast I'm going.
