Understatement of the year, wow, that could have been ugly at full noise.

Fixed it for ya, but one more time and I am going to send you to the naughty corner

I’m trying to get my head around this.  So if you were to cut out the middle of the K frame and lower it.  You would achieve the same thing as spacing it down but the suspension geometry would remain standard?  is that right.  Not saying to do it btw, but if the K frame spacers are legal maybe a modified K frame is a better way to go?

Nice, coming along great.

Done!!

  Can confirm you arent 6′ 4″ and 120kg though…

^ that “rod” is kind of the idea I have for mine one day.  Sort of a cross between a clubman type circuit car and a hot rod.
