Anti tramp bar is a very likely cause... seeing as they were too tight to put on the matching one! Might be time for a pioneer to look into how easy it is to add the other one in ;) I did look the other day tbh, doesn't seem that difficult to someone who can weld.

The question I always ask is 'why?'. I can't believe it's just because they were too tight, judging by some of the other crazy (& time consuming)stuff they did.

cheers

It really makes you wonder, there seems to be no reason why its missing, i.e. no fouling I can see. I'm tempted to cut the brackets of the next scrapper I find, just to offer it up.

Haha, 3"? for me with 195\55 tires it would bee way to low.. But with 175\50 it will maybe look good, but you will need stiffer dampers

Nah, some but easy solved. You on the other hand will need to move the cable from under to over the leaf spring.. Go for it, 3" thats like 6cm of lowering? :lol:

thanks man !!

3" are 7,62cms, I think will be good with 175/50 :wink: I'll use stock dampers by the moment, let's see how time they last, haha

I'm waiting for the pics of your 360 !! It will be stunning ( a bit more ) !!

Got one pic;

With my girlfriend`s racer in the background :roll:

I think 2" fits my car and rubber. With 175\50 you will have alot less I rubber so 3" may be just perfect for you
I really need to find some konis or something, the car is still a bit soft and i need to lower it more in the front


And i have got a new chair, Love it!

Did u measure the diameter and height of the damper when you switched it? I am on a hunt for a damper that will fit, who are stiffer and shorter

I haven't no intention to replace the dampers now... I'll replace them when they break ( not too late I guess :lol: )

I'll do some research too to see what upgraded shocks you can fit !!!

Regards !!

Front shocks? Let us know how you get on, how much they cost etc. I'm sure lots of people would be interested!
