Getting Scared


just ordered all of my stuff....

mac l/t's, bbk o/r X, violator cat back, sniper tuner, upr CAI, sct MAF, steeda under drives, and 5 qts of royal purple oil.

i'm getting scared from all the new threads about l/t's scraping and shit. i live in MN where there ARE speed bumps, but not a lot of them where i am at all. i mean theres steep enclines and parking garages and stuff....but....

i have stock suspension as of now....

i'm getting H&R super sports...with a bunch of other susp. stuff.

will i scrape absloutely everywhere?

thanks

Alright you finally did it . Weld up some skid plates that might help you keep your headers from getting to nasty.

I just took my Eibach's off for the C Kit and its a much nicer ride to me

and I lived in an apartment with speedbumps..... I had to readjust my h-pipe from dragging, but usually only would drag the collector of the header, so they are still fine

the eibach's were too "bouncy" for me.... the c springs feel much more stiff.

I see everyone using the ford c springs. What's wrong with the b springs? I just bought some but haven't seen anyone else with them.

Since theyre only an inch drop I dont need cc plates right? I have l/ts right now and they aren't hitting on speed bumps. Do you think they will with the drop? I'll be putting them on with Bilstein struts/shocks.

you dont HAVE to... but if you have the funds to do so, it never hurts

if you dont hit the speedbumps @ 30 mph you should be fine i would imagine

If I hit a speedbump at 30, my car would be totaled and I would be in a coma.

haha! yeah 30 is a bit quick for a speedy bump.

what about these?

Eibach Pro Kit Springs at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

would i need a bumpsteer kit? or CC's...or shocks and struts?

ive heard getting shocks and struts is very good, and recommended. but do i NEED them?

I used to set the cruise control at 30 to go over a bunch of speedbumps. Guess I won't be doing that anymore.

i'd recommend it for that setup, always good to have a little extra adjustment.
