I've done my gti-6 40mm at the front but I'd doesn't seem to have changed much! Is it best to keep the rear level at 40 or should it be more?!________________________________________

You don't want it level really, better to have a bit of rake towards the front.40mm is very noticeable though... ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |
