lowered 30mm with boost pipes, yet to hit anything so 40mm should be okay  ________________________________________ TEAM HIGH BOOST SUPERCHARGED RALLYEMy Rallye project thread |

Mine is about 35mm now, with one of the exhaust manifolds about 4" off the ground. Causing me a few issues so its going to be wound up 10mm on the coilovers and i'm going to look into having the offending pipe chopped a tad, along with the two restrictors taken out.Oh and bung the battery in the boot. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
