It is a savage car! In most of the those pictures its got 4 inch lowering blocks on the back, thats why in certain pictures it has different wheels on the back as its sooo low :lol: I think he's changed them now so its got three inch blocks on the back, so could run the 7x13 minilights all round :) I've been out in it a couple of times, only 1700 i've been in, but it dont half shift compared to my 1400. Looks 10x more awesome in the flesh though :) I think he's got 5 deep dish minilights as well, and 4 have good tread 195/45/13's on, rare tyres, i should know :roll: Got sh*t loads of potential if you've got the dollar :)

Yeah i've seen the pictures on facebook :) Looks nice and tidy :D

Welding the sleeves on doesnt do the job :) Although the ride height is still adjustable, you still run into the same problem as cut/very low springs - The damper isnt shortened and sits in the same place, so the footvalve destroys itself on hard bumps. I've got a good idea how to use standard dampers but still reach the required lows :) Thomas..............
