Last year I installed full length Doug's headers and much to my dislike, they now have become the lowest point under the car with an extra inch.
I had to turn up the torsion bars a bit to make them clear the multitude of speedbumps I encounter every day.

The 1" bars prevent the LCA's from bottoming out, but I would upgrade to 1.06" mainly to be able to adjust the car lower.


Did it have the stock shallow 727 type pan or the deeper A518 type.
