H&R's, set up by Mark Fish as Track/Road compromise.
It's a daily driver, perfect height but on it's second splitter...

whatisjustis · Jan 17, 2009

Very nice, sir. How low is it?

Day · Jan 17, 2009

No idea lol.

Craig · Jan 17, 2009

love the cup day

m0ssy · Jan 17, 2009

Mine must be about 70mm on FK's....

Craig · Jan 17, 2009

do you get any rubbing on the front mate

Pep · Jan 17, 2009

H&R's for mine, down all the way at the back, around 60mm, then front is maybe the same, but I want to go lower.

m0ssy · Jan 17, 2009

Did have mate, but cut away the arch liner where is was rubbing, and 'modified' the bumper brackets so no rubbing whatsoever now

Craig · Jan 17, 2009

hmm might have to do that with mine. is it a case of hammering the bit of metal that comes down

m0ssy · Jan 17, 2009

Yeah basically mate, you need to cut away all of the part of the arch liner that protrudes to accomodate the bracket, then give the bracket a quick beat with the hammer just to get it out of the way, should be fine

Craig · Jan 17, 2009

cool cheers mate ive already cut away the bulge in the arch so when it gets warmer the hammer is coming out. then i might lower it some more.

m0ssy · Jan 17, 2009

Yeah go for it mate. Took me a few attempts to get it to the point where there is absolutely no rubbing and it is perfect but worth it now I can chuck it round bends without the horrible noises.

That is just plain rediculous! I've seen touring cars with more ground clearance! Did it stay that way for long? Looks great!

whatisjustis · Jan 18, 2009

He cracked his splitter trying to get it of the drive IIRC?!

Amy · Jan 18, 2009

Awesome cars in this thread, would never get off the drive again if my car was as low as many of these!
