Local recovery firm to me has similar.

Although the ones that drop down diagonally are just as good for very low cars anyway IME

Stav,
Surely it must be possible to import one cheap, just like you did your Chaser? .

Obv not had cars all that low then, ive had loads of trouble in the past.

My Chasers front bumper is literally an inch off the ground, and its not just been slammed on its arse, its just how it is.

I was lucky with my car, they reckon youd be paying double what I did now.

And them things are v.sought after over there, 9k minimum for a 10yr old one, not mega cheap.
