well my car is soon to be completely fixed body wise, and now its time to lower it, my only question is, my aftermarket crossmember hangs fairly low (innovative mounts i think) and if i get a new one then the header (4-1) will be just as low as my current crossmember, so my question is do i keep the crossmember incase it has to take a blow for the header, or do i get one that doesn't hang low and let the header take the blow?

 

which is cheaper?

thatll decide for you

 

well the point here is to not replace anything if i can avoid it all

 

dont drop it to the point where **** hits.

i'm lowered and have scrapes on both. you simply can't avoid it.

 

one and half inches too low?

1.5" sounds like you'll be okay.

You should be fine....and if I had to make the decision I would deff keep the crosmemeber to protect my header.....esp if its something worthy like a hytech,smsp,rmf etc etc
