I don't wanna lower it 100mm, or stance it or shit like that.

Also virtually standard circumference, not low profiles on 13's. Just shhh, if it's too low at 80 I can raise it can't i

reason coilovers are awesome.

Too low, go higher, too high, go lower.

Dont get none of that shit with springs n shocks. stuck with it unless you buy more springs LOL

I ran a Stage 3 with 175/50 R13 and an 80mm drop and that was too low to drive properly, with or without the frame. The whole idea of the frame design is to ensure that the fore/aft cross members catch before you tear the bottom of the sump off, which they do successfully. If you're low enough to bang and scrape the fuck out of a frame all the time, you're low enough to be hammering the chassis and sump too - in which case I'd forget buying a frame and treat sumps (and maybe the shell/chassis!) as a disposable service item.

I guess what I'm saying is the frames are pitched at people more focussed on handling/chassis strength improvements than people wanting to go uber low for cosmetic reasons - so they're not for everyone!

I could just weld skid plates to the frame? :p

Thats about the limit, look how close the forward pointing bars are, not the lateral ones.

Your right, getting one that will give you ample clearance for no extra cost is a really bad idea, don't know why I even thought about it.

Have pressed out Drive flanges an bearings and got dust shields off the knuckles. Will send to gaz this week or next

Gas fit the bearings for you? Do they supply top mounts? Have you decided on rates, I wanted 250f and 180r

Dunno I'll do them anyway I have access to a press. I think I'll be just a touch softer than that with 10 & 7" springs

Well after it being a nice sunny day and playing with a few fast cars today it's safe to get I need to get a fucking jog on with this!!

If anyone has some spare engine mounts and stuff PM me as I wanna get some bits powdercoated for the rebuild!

Fit a mk2 idash, would look doss.
