guys with lowered cars and longtubes - need advise

my car is lowered 1.5 in with the eibach kit
I want to install Jet hot lts but have heard much controversy with lts and a lowered car
Some say they have no problems and some regret it.
If I can keep from shorties that would be great.
thanks
Josh

PS - please let me know any problems that I will have with my car being lowered

I have no regrets with my set-up! I only scrape the collector flanges and the y-pipe when pulling in and out of my garage. Speed bumps aren't a problem if I take them on an angle. Never made any actual ground to header contact.

JasonD has LTs on his car with DMS springs. You could ask him if he has any problems. I've heard only good things about DMS's springs.
