I'm planning on running 2" drop springs from DSE in my Elky but don't know if they car will be too low for long tube headers. Is anyone running 2" drop springs with long tube headers in a A-Body? Would i be better off running shorty headers?

Thanks, Jacob

I have a 2" drop on my '69 on Mid Lengths with 3" tubes. I suspect the clearance on my down tube is similar to the flange on a long tube. I cannot clear a tennis ball.

But I will say the only real problems I have are entering/leaving driveways that have a peak to them or speed bumps - which I avoid like the plague. Everyday driving doesn't seem to be an issue.
