Looks like it was narrowed inside the mounts. Love your car, keep up the great work and keep the pics coming! :headbang:


How do you mean? Did we do it wrong? :?

I knew it would it look good, but it looks even better than I thought. You're a brave soul doin' it in white. I hope it stays clean.

Great job.

How low are you going in the back?

Nope, looks like you got it under control my friend. In the picture below (first pic I copied) the distance between the beam mount brackets is very close and it looks like some extra material was removed from the center. In the other subsequent pics, the center section is obviously back to normal, shock towers removed, and it is now narrowed from the outer sections against the towers(two inches each side ...about the distance to the grease nipple holes I'm guessing?)

Unless I'm missing something...

Car looks the business bro. I'm loving the new stance. Keep up the good work! :thumbup:

We removed 13 centimeters from the center. Than we placed the part that contains the bolts to set the height.
Then we removed the mount brackets and putted them back on in the correct position :)

and Thanks ;)

Dude, that really looks good. Nice choice on everything.

Do you have to raise because of the law, or just because it scrapes?

I don't mind scraping but the roads in Belgium are really really bad :(

NICE STANCE !!
JUST MAKE SURE you change the AXL BERINGS from the old style to a SEALED BERINGs as the outter berings wont be getting oil from the trans and WILL BURN UP in a short amount of time !!
