i did raise her up a bit, made it a bit more bareable on the road, and altered the rear spring ratings.
this still looks a bit low, bit it was laden for out trip to lemans 3 years ago.

Sarah et al,
Sorry, but not only does that look TERRIBLE, it will also (as Tony implies) COMPLETELY ruin the handling.

looks hard as nails!but isnt it the wrong sort of car to go round slamming it to the floor? surely a car designed to give the best possibly handling should be kept such a way?

As said above, it wasnt that great be that low - hence why mine didnt stay that way for to long.

and it certainly wont be like that ever again.


Jb, the wheels are long gone now mate, they are now on Efe's car.
Did you get you PM the other day?

i really dont know Paul, they never used to sit out quite as far as 8" MO's that a mate had with an et15, so id guess they were either et20 or 25.
