    Im lowered about 3 inches with where I have my coils now and the only time I have ever scraped is going over speed bumps. I also followed a thread I found on refabbing the DP. it is easy and ends up so much cleaner and tighter to the vehicle and for a fraction of the price of TOG's or the other high ends sets. SD's are well worth the price

    I think I'll refab mine. I don't plan on lowering the car but also don't wanna worry about ripping the DP off. It's not bad but it could be better. SD should look into this lol. I'm sure they already know, but they should adjust it.

    I wanted to avoid any possible problems with headers so I went with a plog, PEM and downpipe. I think it's good for all the power i'll create. If you are going to be serious and want like over 300 HP at the wheels you definitely want headers.

    its probably cheaper to go with SD headers than to buy all that stuff and a DP from ZZP. You get more bang for your buck, IMO.
