Finally almost finished, I measure in at 3/4" from sump & exhaust to ground... But I am happy with where it has gone, just small details now...

 

 

 

 

 

Good work man, did you chop or modify the exhaust? 

 

I have a MPI wound down to the max on coilovers on untubbed arches and my exhaust has about an inch clearance. scrapes on everything, rubs pretty bad aswell 

 

I think my plan is to get it back on cones, tub the rear arches and get it wound down another 10mm, the coilovers are very harsh. handles great but not so nice on long drives.

Exhaust is left alone, it is a big bore single box side swept deal, nothing fancy. I was thinking about moving shifter inside, but honestly I'm not static so I think I will be fine. I did really like the red sracer springs. They suited the bigger wheels nice. But they have there drawbacks as well.

Unless you where doing it for looks id say youl be fine. 

 

I only put on a fletcher back box, it all clears fine, just my center cat. think it will need chopped

I know this pic is cheating as there's a couple inch down from the rollers but it looks neat

Dont you stance guys bottom the rear shocks? Lowered shocks are just a few mm shorter.

Or do all of you have turreted shock mounts?

Im on, i think, standard length spax adjustables and about 2 inches higher than you guys and mine bottoms even on the stiffest shock setting.

mm lows

Not normally. You should be able to hit the wheel against the arch.

New exhaust will be on this weekend I reckon so I'll be shooting golf balls instead of peas 

 

Sure man will do a bit later!

What are the width of those wheels and what brakes are you running? I would leave it like that and not bother with arches but thats just me haha.

They're 10 inch wellers but I can't remember the exact offset, got the minispares 10 inch brake conversion on the front and standard drums on the rear. I did drive it around like that for a day or so but the amount of tread sticking out of the arch was a little illegal  But since I've put my arches on the rear wheels have started scrubbing a bit and on the passengers side rear arch it actually took a bit of the plastic off, doesn't bother me though as since then its stopped rubbing

Some recent pics taken from this weekend real quick, I'll probably stop posting pics in this thread of my estate since I am pretty much done with her for this season, even though I am thinking hard about upgrading to a FBSS setup:
