cheers,

i didnt have to raise it up i wanted to...
while it looks good low it was just to harsh to drive every day..
i also got sick of the tow bar rail and rear lip scraping in and out of drivways, its even worse when towing a trailer, it was just becoming impractical..

im not to sure, according to the engineer and the report, the suspension is and must not be less than 355mm from the hub centre to the eyebrow of the wheel arch on the front and 350mm on the rear,while maintaning a minimum of 100mm of ground clearence.
due to me changing springs after it was engineered it didnt end up the same..
so at the moment the front of mine is currently 340mm at the front and the rear is now fine since if changed the rear..

It's not a 4WD. When was the last time it went off-road - soccer practice?

And Troy... I told you, those wheel dont suit your car. I will need to take them off you. As doing this favour is a big hassle for you, I would need to charge you $50 to do that :P

I agree with a total tool, Rims don't suit IMO. Saw it at Liverpool last Friday. Has to be one of the nicer box cars out there. And good to see you got rip of that supercharger

I like them, if I didnt I wouldnt have brought them.. :)
On the plus side the rims are physically better aswell, the old cobra copies without tyres weigh as much as these rims with tyres..

for the 3 years owning the cobra rims i always had issues with light shaking on the steering wheel, had a few places say it was the tyres, tried many different brands of tyres and never completely stoped the shaking untill i brought the new rims..
there is no more shaking, cabin noise has droped due to no more harmonic vibration from the other rims..
win win...

I think you need big brakes (that change the offset to AU) and the AU diff. Solve your problem
I'm running hub adapters. Never had any drama with them. I reckon they are great. Opens my options up 10 fold
