Want to lower the front but don't want to sit on bump stops
Flaring the front arches have made the lip go up and I've been disliking the arch gap more and more. really shouldn't lower it I guess as less than 20mm clearance on chassis/steering rack. (Without driver/passenger/tyres/gear for drift days! LOL! sits on the stops when its loaded.)
well they have worn away higher about 1cm over the past year lol.
Rear has lots left, will go down about 1cm as I pulled the arches some more
exhaust leak is getting bigger too... I **** exhaust leaks!!!!!

Lil update after Lydden!
Fuckin sick, intake elbow collapses now from how hot it was that day. had to remove the air filter (sock) to get rid of some restriction and it stopped collapsing.
Got a in car video but unfortunately the outside was so bright ! but if you know lydden its better to watch.
Improved throughout the day and the video was only 2nd outing

had the ecu flashed with a good map before lydden and it was amazing! set the rev limit to 7200rpm. I can stay in 2nd longer and spin up the wheels more /more speed before paddock hill now. it helped a lot.
some random pics
replaced this... mega bent
hehe!

Working on the fitment as I've started to dislike it more and more after seeing so many clean, low, tight drifters in Japan.
So new front wings and lowered the rear, till it almost rubs.
Rolled with a half inch bar. Need to flatten the lip as the wing is sitting on the tyre still. Need at least -1 more camber to fit the tyre under.
before, yuck!
