    I want to lower my car, i already ordered the B&G springs. It lowers from 1.2-1.5 inches, but my problem is my SSAC downpipe which is the lowest part of my car sits 4.5 inches off the ground.... So if i lower i will only have 3 inches of ground clearance which isn't a lot.

    My question is can it be straightened out because it sits a good inch lower than everything else... or is there another solution to my problem?

    You can have a shot make you a custom down pipe for the headers.

    A good buddy of mine runs his SLP's (what the SSAC's were designed after) and his car is dropped on Springtechs like mine and its LOW and doesn't ever hit...

    It looks low, but its in a location that you can drive your car accordingly and not bottom out. The only thing i would be afraid of really is speed bumps if you cant take them at an angle. If anything else, its a 3" v-band and some 3" pipe to remake the lower downpipe...
