LMAO reading this thread. Slimx, ground control springs and slam the thing, but before you buy them chop your springs a coil. You might be suprised how good it drives, and it's free. Everyone likes free.

If i didn't care about your safety I would advise it, but tbh it's nothing you would want anyone to risk.

If you want ezy low... just get some old sagged springs off someone on the forums.

How high is it (hub centre to fender lip) and how high do you want it to be?

As sailaholic said...

You get a surprisingly large amount of help here despite your attitude. Maybe because you get many clicks as people cant be sure if your serious and what to know what the go is.

There are quite a few GFs that care about performance. Probably not the ones you'll pick up at Kings Cross by blasting music out of your front bar though.

Seriously, this thread has been beaten to death. The OP's original question has been answered (above and beyond) so its time to hit the lock button :evil:
