Hotchkis TVS with QA1 lower control arms

One parking lot speed bump or street intersection gutter on the way to lunch or ice cream... ouch.

I run the TTI stepped headers. They aren’t as low as that front. But they still scrape on the higher parking lot speed bumps. When I go to bigger rims my over tire package will grow and the car should lift 3/4” or so.

You know it’s not right... fix it once and enjoy the avoided hassle forever

I know I would want to raise the bar up a little if it's possible, and maybe shorten the end links to keep it running freely. But I bet the header collectors are still lower. The back of my K frame is 5" off the ground, the driver's header flange with my Doug's headers is 3 5/8". Even right there that's 1 3/8" that the bar could hang down and still be at the same height. And since the front of the K member is higher than the rear, I bet that bar is still higher than the flanges. And the Doug's are almost 3/8" closer to the frame than the TTI long tubes are.
