you could do it probably.. I'm not sure though. I would pay all that money for them and then bang them up, though. and you will scrape them.

but the drop looks amazing

yep when i still had my cats i scraped em some, but i bumped my mufflers most of the time if i scraped bc my mufflers where the low points

and the pro still sits a good bit lower than the stock springs and looks good.

And what would it sound like if i ran 2.5in straitpipes from the headers back no cats or mufflers with 3.0in tips. Would it be rele loud? __________________ {Burn Rubber Not Your Soul}

not sure on the tires, but as far as exhaust u could try youtube for some vids of the exhaust sounds. i also liked borla but the system was too pricey for me.

Anyway back to what this thread is about, I was thinkin about puting on 245/45 but the way it sound with the drop im gettin i will already have problems with scrapin, n if i get smaller tires that will make it even worse, so would i be able to run 45 in tires without it makin a huge diff in my ride hight? __________________ {Burn Rubber Not Your Soul}

You need some backpressure in the exhaust to have your V6 run right. __________________ Black '94 5.0 GT Cobra 5-speed conversion, FRPP Ceramic Shortys, UPR O/R X-Pipe, 2 Chamber Flows, FRPP Underdrive Pulleys, Mac CAI, FRPP SVO Export Fender Flares, Eibach Sportlines, CDC Side Scoops, STEEDA Race Wing, Black 18x9 & 18x10 FR500s
