Quote from: Archbish;601569I\'m actually still trying to figure out where the two pieces of string that attach to the back of each wheel onto the plank are, and where they are going to go through the firewall... and those are the phatest pram wheels I\'ve ever seen, and I\'ve never, ever come across a carbon fibre soap box before!! *grin*

seriously tho, I didn\'t realise the original lower suspension supports were still in place, but I did think the position of the top of the struts would be critical - please don\'t think I\'m bringing it down, it\'s merely hoping to learn more about this stuff!!

Why would the struts be in a critical posison?

I really can`t see the problem, the strust are in stock posision.
Just moved 2" up..
I know that the wishbone isnt in an idle posison, but I will fiks..

I\'ve been really trying to find pictures of FD\'s on proper sized wheels like that! Are they ET10 or something? I found some nice 16x8 ET0s that I think would suit well.

just going back to the front wishbone angle and rack position if you have lowered it by 2" are you going to have bump steer problems ? if you are running out of adjustment i have some track rod ends that lower the position to help this problem, let mt know if you need any. ps good work !!!
