Default Ebay headers and ground clearance

Im currently lowered with BMRs and thinking of getting these. How is the ground clearance with them? Any experiences, maybe pics?

Whats your opinion on stage8 header bolts? Some feedback I got was that they rust pretty badly. Are there any other ones better or perhaps the ones provided are enough?

Thanks!

i got some of the ebay headers back around 2006. my ground clearance is absolutley fine. im stock ride height but can fit an entire coke can under the header. my y-pipe is a different story, but its got dual cutouts.

As far as rust, mine being a daily(ish) driver in SC i have no rust in three years. These headers are stainless, so they shouldnt rust. I dont know if the ones on ebay are still stainless or not, because they are about half the price i paid for mine.

Red Z28s in the upstate are fairly well represented here, but I think chaman has his answer

Yeas I was referring to the bolts rusting. I have found only good things about those headers. They sure are a great deal specially since these are stainless.

Stage 8's are a PIA. Just reuse your stockers and torque to spec. Going on three years here no prob....
