headers on lowered vette
I am getting ready to order my headers for my 02 Z that is lowered with cut bushings and longer bolts. I am either going with kooks or lg's. Do either of those hang down past the bottom of the car? Has anyone had a problem with headers on really low vettes?

my vette's lowered on stock bolts
I have LT headers, they DO drag, but I know the areas where I need to take it at an angle
It's totally worth lowering and I would never give up the headers

LGs hang down some and will scrap on a extremely low car. Primarily on speed bumps, etc. My Z06 has cut bushings in front, longer bolts in back and the LGs do not scrape. If you go much lower thatn that though you will scrape occasionaly. Nothing terrible though.
