hey guys, quick question, i searched and didn't find anything on this : i lowered my car on a pro kit, if i want a 4-1 header setup will i have problems with it scraping?
Thanks

Not unless you plan on doing any offroading.

 

cool, that's good then...as long as i don't have any "unplanned lawn mowing" at the track next time.

I accidentally bounced my car up a curb. The curb ended up just in front of the back wheels. I backed the car off of it. There is only a few small scratches on my 4-1 header.

 

how low are you

 

Stock Type R height.

 

The JDM ITR header has about the best ground clearance of the current 4-1s, and the Spoon 4-2-1, out there on a B18. The low part of the header is about 3/4" to 7/8" below the lowest part of the oil pan, i.e. drain plug area.

 

That's good info. My header is a DC 4-1.

 

Dint worry they are strong...I hit a manwhole the other day, my friend driving behind me only saw sparks shooting out from the back of my car, and there was only scratches on my DC 4-1...

Wow! That's amazing. And a good datapoint.

 

just go get a stainless steel sheet and attach it to the bottom of your header ( the lowest front-est point and ues a big garden hose to keep it on there. it will scratch the stainles steel part, instead of the header, saving you dents and nicks.

 

That isn't the greatest sounding suggestion, but I'll think about it.

 

I have the DC- 4-1 header on my LS and the Eibach Pro kit installed and as far as I can tell I have yet to scrape it on anything. I also have a Spoon sports lower tie bar which is much lower than anything else on the car so if something's gonna get hit it'll be that. You should be fine though.

 

excellent, thanks for the info
