Hooker Competition Headers
If you have the original T-bars, you may want to crank them up just a bit to help alleviate the chance of smashing the bottom tube of the headers on speed bumps. Have the car aligned and headlights readjusted after you are happy with the stance. I too smashed my first set of headers due to worn factory T-bars and speed bumps. If you have the engine out, I highly suggest getting new 1.03" T-bars! It will firm up the suspension and corner very flat as opposed the 40 YO .865" T-bars. When the engine is out, this is the time to perform engine bay work. Pics are the current ride height of the car. Wheels are 17" US Mags. Tires are BFG 26.4" tall tires. I have about 3" of GC to the header flange.
