Well you have an sc, so the only drop you'll get with SPORTLINES is about 1.25-1.75



The drop depends on the car. Not the other way around

They ride really well especially with the difference in price from the Sportlines.

I have had em for bout 25k miles and they are still running strong for me.

BUT if you dont want something really low then I suggest stearing away from the sportlines or Tenzo's. They are going to set you down really far. My car is only about 4 inches off the ground highest. Underneath the car I scrape my exhaust pipe on anything and everything I drive over..

Well you have the SS with the lip on the front.. I dont have to worry about that with the LS.

I dont scrape the tip or muffler.. Just the pipe directly below the cab of the car. BUT then again it isnt hung like the stock pipe and is bigger so it hangs down about a half inch lower than the stock pipe.

I scrape it on both bumps in the road and mainly on speed bumps
