I was thinking either the Prokits or H&R Sports. I want the best performing springs with realistic ride/price. But I can find out other aspects myself. I was just wondering @ what drop would I start having clearance issues with a 3" exhaust? Right now I've yet to scratch a thing - but I'm still at the factory height. The turbo has a 2.5" DP, but that might change if I lose the A/C.

PS: I live on a relatively rural county. A couple trips (once a month) to D.C (nasty roads) - but I'm usually careful.

 

the piping won't be what really hurts you, it would be the muffler or pre-silencer. with a 1" drop you won't have any problems.

i had a drag 3 w/ greddy evo...2 and 1/4 drop no problems.

 

Thanks Erik. Didn't really think it would be a problem.

 

I had a Thermal R&D 3" turbo exhaust with Neuspeed race springs (< 2" drop). no problems.

 

You dont need a three inch exhaust unless your going for a forced induction setup. 2.25 piping should be just fine.

 

I have a Thermal with a 1.75 drop...no problem either...3 in downpipe to 3in high flow cat to 3in exhaust
