-Do they change ground clearance?

-What happens if car's bottom hit ground with them on uneven road? Floor pan usually just bends locally and loses some paint.

-As the forces are transferred differently throughout the bodyshell - won't it cause cracking of attachment points on extremly bumpy roads?

-Is access to all servicable parts unchanged?

-How much they weight?



I will have my shell rebuild and reconned and freshly painted outside and underside before the winter and I think I should consider theese, though I would have to travel to UK to get them which I expect would make costs huge :-(

The cause no ground clearance issues and the exhaust will still be the lowest point of contact with the ground, the weight is 7kg although T45 connectors can be made to order should weight saving be a major issue on a competition car.

We now have these on cars in Switzerland, Sweden, USA and many in the UK as they are becoming more popular.

We send these out with fitting guidelines providing you have a competant welder to assist in the fitting.

Would expert bodyshop be able to do that? They weld in whole car parts, chassis rails, corner cuts, struts, this shouldn't be as complex?


I also could use rally-prep company with experience of welding in roll-cages, sea welding shells, welding in braces and reinforcements, etc.

on previous cars we've never had an issues with cracking and this is not a new idea as I've been doing these for Mustangs etc for the past 6 years and my own saph has had them fo 30,000miles. The bars limit shell flex so in extreme cases things can move due to the design of the bars, however in a full motorsport application I would add a cross brace to this which would stiffen things even more but welded seams would be advised for this along with a full weld in cage.

with regards fitting you in sooner i will call you if a slot becomes available.

SO you have any closer pics, drawings or instalation instructions? I'dlike to consult my experts if I want them

If you could send some close up pics or something like that to jzn@astercity.net it would help

instalation pics all come when the product is purchased. There are pics in this thread I believe.

Am really thinking about an offer I got from someone from the UK or registering it as a rallycar over here in Belgium.
