Drop with Greddy EVO II?

Quick questions for anyone with the Greddy Evo II. I'm looking to lower my car this summer and I have a Greddy Evo II exhaust. The thing is huge and doesn;t give me a lot of room for lowering. I've seen some Vic with Evo II that are so low they are scraping there exhaust across the ground! If you got a set up or any suggestions, let me know. Any info would be a big help! I also have a set of 16's with 205/15-16.

i have Evo2 and my drop is 1.75" drop....i just go over bumps and stuff slowly.

but my friend has his car drop 2.25" and he has Evo2...so he has to go over bumps and stuff even slower and even have to ricerocket style over them sometimes

so yea i like my drop (eibach sportline) perfect 2 fingers front and 3 fingers rear.

from what i read about the greddy, it is supposed to be designed specifically so that it will not scrape on lowered cars.

direct quote from greddy's webpage.

The EVO's offset tip design improves road clearance in most models. Another benefit is the appearance of a small muffler on the car, but actually is a high volume muffler, excellent for sound suppression.

I'm not sure about the evo 2, but I have the first evo and lowered with sport springs and I have never scrapped anything. Should be ok.

I've seen some really bad ones at the shop I hang out at. I was thinking only a 1.5 to 2.0 drop max. Any suggestions? I was thinking Eibach. As far as Greddy's quote, they must not have been talking about the Evo II, cause it's huge!

the evo 2 and evo 1 are the same thing, the evo2 is just stainless steel piping.

I had the first evo and progress springs and i scraped everywhere

I also live in NYC tho.....horrible driving conditions

Greddy Evo sounded awesome but i thought had horrible ground clearance. Greddy is full of caca with that quote.
